c# - JSON Cannot Deserialize JSON array into type -

i maintain having issues trying json deserialize, after trying multiple approaches.

very ugly know. unfortunately else's web service, there isn't much can do. i've been messing around c# model class , can't quite seem work.

calling method:

model class:

[jsonobject(memberserialization.optin)] public class biblegatewayverse { [jsonproperty("osis")] public string reference { get; set; } [jsonproperty("content")] public string content { get; set; } [jsonproperty("footnotes")] public list<string> footnotes { get; set; } [jsonproperty("crossrefs")] public list<string> crossreferences { get; set; } } [jsonobject(memberserialization.optin)] public class biblegatewayverses { [jsonproperty("data")] public list<biblegatewayverse> verses; }

i've used tools such json2csharp.com , generate same thing. i've toyed around using arrays instead of list, no avail. additionally, i've tried replacing footnotes list type object (as recommended json2sharp).

any help appreciated.

your json info wrapped in array, need deserialize array of type

jsonconvert.deserializeobject<biblegatewayverses[]>(jsondata);

hope helps
