JsonConvert.DeserializeObject> is returning null objects in List

Question

I am new to Json.Net and am having a difficult time deserializing my Json objects into .Net objects. It creates ConclusionEntityCategory objects but those in turn contain null o

Answer 1

Try marking the internal properties on ConclusionEntityCategory with [JsonProperty] attribute, or if that is not desirable, set DefaultContractResolver.DefaultMemberSearchFlags to include non-public flag.

Answer 2

As a result of Category, SubCategory1, and SubCategory2 being internal, the serializer cannot set them. These need to be public properties in order to be populated.

internal class ConclusionEntityCategory
{
 public string Category { get; set; }
 public string SubCategory1 { get; set; }
 public List<string> SubCategory2 { get; set; }
}
