How to fix error: Cannot deserialize the current JSON object-CodePudding

I tried to fetch data from API but I receive an error:

{Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[pizhevsoft.Models.ItemsAPI AladinModel]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly. To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.

My object class looks like:

public partial class RootAladinModel
{
    [JsonProperty("aladinModel")]
    public AladinModel[] AladinModel { get; set; }
}

public partial class AladinModel
{
    [JsonProperty("DATS")]
    public DateTimeOffset Dats { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("TA")]
    public double Ta { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("RH")]
    public double Rh { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("WS")]
    public double Ws { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("RR")]
    public double Rr { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("SR")]
    public double Sr { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("APRES")]
    public double Apres { get; set; }
}

My Rest Service Class look like:

public async Task<List<AladinModel>> GetAladinData(string query)
{
    List<AladinModel> weatherData = new List<AladinModel>();
    try
    {
        var response = await _client.GetAsync(query);
        if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            var content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            weatherData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<AladinModel>>(content);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("\t\tERROR {0}", ex.Message);
    }

    return weatherData;
}

I receive this error in the catch statement.

This is the JSON data:

How can I fix this error?

CodePudding user response：

A very strange yet valid JSON.

You need to get the first item (array) from aladinModel array.

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

var content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

JObject root = JObject.Parse(content);
weatherData = root["aladinModel"][0].ToObject<List<AladinModel>>();

Sample program

CodePudding user response：

The JSON that is returned from the API point does not represent a List<AladinModel> but instead represents a RootAladinModel.

Try the following (or similar):

var model = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootAladinModel>(content);
weatherData = model.AladinModel.ToList();
