Apologies for asking a fairly common question, I have been looking all over and can't find a solution that fixes my problem.
I am using Firesharp, and trying to deserialize a Json object that Firebase returns into a class with a nested list.
public class Class
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Desc { get; set; }
public string HPDie { get; set; }
public string Role { get; set; }
public int RPL { get; set; }
public IList<Level> Levels { get; set; }
public Class() { }
public Class(string name, string desc, string hpdie, string role, int rPL, List<Level> levels)
{
Name = name;
Desc = desc;
HPDie = hpdie;
RPL = rPL;
Levels = levels;
}
}
As you can see it has a list of Levels, another class with the following code:
public class Level
{
public int Number { get; set; }
public int BAB { get; set; }
public int FortSave { get; set; }
public int WillSave { get; set; }
public int RexSave { get; set; }
public int SpellsKnown { get; set; }
public List<Skill> Skills { get; set; }
public Level() { }
public Level(int number, int bab, int cmb, int cmd, int fortsave, int willsave, int rexsave, List<Skill> skills)
{
Number = number;
BAB = bab;
FortSave = fortsave;
WillSave = willsave;
RexSave = rexsave;
Skills = skills;
}
public class LevelList
{
List<Level> levellist { get; set; }
}
}
That at the same time, has a list of Skills. The Skill class only has two strings, a name and a description.
The code I'm using to deserialize is:
private async void RefreshClasses()
{
this.classList = new List<Class>();
FirebaseResponse res = await client.GetAsync("Class");
IEnumerable<Class> data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IEnumerable<Class>>(res.Body);
if (data != null)
{
PopulateDGVClasses(data);
}
}
But when it gets to the Deserialization it returns the following error:
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: 'Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[CaminanteHelper.Class]' 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. Path 'Barbarian', line 1, position 13.'
Again, I think I should be able to fix this by myself, but I've been stuck for almost two days already.
Thank you all in advance!
Edit: Json that I'm trying to deserialize:
