Json locations
I'm using dual serialization for the heavily polymorphic data structures in my game - MessagePack with integer keys and union polymorphism for the wire format and local storage, and Json.NET with string keys and JsonKnownTypes polymorphism for debug output and long term persistence in RethinkDB. Here's what one of my simpler polymorphic data structures looks like. Lots of attributes but that's the price you pay I guess.

C# Team plans to start prototyping Discriminated Union
I don't think there's any built-in unfortunately, at least not yet. I put together something, though it could probably be better, the biggest problem is indeed the memory. There's a proposition to allow structuring generic classes and structs, so it would be possible to make generic C++-like unions, that would help. But for now I don't really see a way to make it work, though maybe someone will have a better idea.
