I faced the problem: Cannot deserialize the current JSON object.

As follows:

public List<Track> Tracks { get; set; }

public async Task<List<Track>> GetTracking()
{

    using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
    {
        using (var requests = new HttpRequestMessage(new HttpMethod("GET"), "urlxxxxxxxx..."))
        {
            ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
            requests.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("accept", "application/json");

            var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(requests);

            using (HttpContent content = response.Content)
            {
                var jsonStr = content.ReadAsStringAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
                var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Track>>(jsonStr); //Get Error**
                Tracks = res;
            }
        }
    }

    return Tracks;
}

Model Class

public class Track
{
    public List<Events> events { get; set; }
}

public class Events
{
    public string eventID { get; set; }
    public string eventType { get; set; }
    public string eventDateTime { get; set; }
    public string eventCreatedDateTime { get; set; }
    public string eventClassifierCode { get; set; }
    public string transportEventTypeCode { get; set; }
    public string documentID { get; set; }
    public string shipmentEventTypeCode { get; set; }
    public List<DocumentReferences> documentReferences { get; set; }
    public TransportCall transportCall { get; set; }
}
public class DocumentReferencesMearsk
{
    public string documentReferenceType { get; set; }
    public string documentReferenceValue { get; set; }
}
public class TransportCallMaersk
{
    public string transportCallID { get; set; }
    public string carrierServiceCode { get; set; }
    public string exportVoyageNumber { get; set; }
    public string importVoyageNumber { get; set; }
    public int transportCallSequenceNumber { get; set; }
    public string UNLocationCode { get; set; }
    public string facilityCode { get; set; }
    public string facilityCodeListProvider { get; set; }
    public string facilityTypeCode { get; set; }
    public string otherFacility { get; set; }
    public string modeOfTransport { get; set; }
    public LocationMearsk location { get; set; }
    public VesselMearsk vessel { get; set; }
}

My input data:

As in my description. I get the error: I get the error: Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: 'Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[XX. Models.Track]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.

Even though I declared: public List events { get; set; }

Is the problem I have misunderstood the format of DeserializeObject. Looking forward to everyone's help. Thank

CodePudding user response：

you have an object, not an array

var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Track>(jsonStr);

and fix class

public class Events
{
    ....
    public List<DocumentReferencesMearsk> documentReferences { get; set; }
    public TransportCallMaersk transportCall { get; set; }
}

CodePudding user response：

Your model is incomplete and has typos. Assuming you have the correct versions of them. You are doing:

var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Track>>(jsonStr); 

which should be just:

var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Track>(jsonStr); 

Your json doesn't have an array at the root level.

Full working sample:

void Main()
{
    var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Track>(myJson);
}

public class Track
{
    public List<Events> events { get; set; }
}

public class Events
{
    public string eventID { get; set; }
    public string eventType { get; set; }
    public string eventDateTime { get; set; }
    public string eventCreatedDateTime { get; set; }
    public string eventClassifierCode { get; set; }
    public string transportEventTypeCode { get; set; }
    public string documentID { get; set; }
    public string shipmentEventTypeCode { get; set; }
    public List<DocumentReferencesMearsk> documentReferences { get; set; }
    public TransportCallMaersk transportCall { get; set; }
}
public class DocumentReferencesMearsk

    public string documentReferenceType { get; set; }
    public string documentReferenceValue { get; set; }
}
public class TransportCallMaersk

EDIT: Result is something like:
