Cannot deserialize the current JSON in C#

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:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12g0nHkHlmbU4Af8crHlzKXD_ERIZdCyH/view?usp=sharing
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

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; }
}

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; }

EDIT: Result is something like:

App is freezing when trying to deserialize Json string to object

I'm not sure what is causing this to happen. When debugging, I can step through each line, but when it hits the DeserializeObject line, the program doesn't do anything. I can no longer step over or do anything else with the program. No error messages are being thrown either.

As mentioned in a comment your class definition doesn't seem to match the JSON response, assuming you're using Visual Studio it's probably worth opening Debug / Windows / Exception Settings and make sure "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" is checked. Sometimes I've found stepping over in multi-threaded apps can produce unusual results after an exception.
When I pasted your code into LINQPad I got errors on several members you've defined as List<string> when the underlying type is more complex. What I normally do to avoid those errors is copy the raw json from a browser window to the clipboard and with a CS file open in Visual Studio do an Edit / Paste Special / Paste JSON as classes to automatically create the classes. After doing that I got the following that deserialized the data fine:
async Task Main()
{
await LookupMonsterStats("aboleth");
}
public async Task LookupMonsterStats(string name)
{
string monstersUri = "https://www.dnd5eapi.co/api/monsters/";

using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())

Error in deserialize json in C#

here is my Get Set Method Class
public class RechargeGridDTO

public String rcbal { get; set; }
public String rcsimbal { get; set; }

public String rcchnnl { get; set; }
}
this is the json response I wanted to parse i-e:
msg = {
"from":"nishantuser",
"to":"smpp",
"errormsg":null,
"status":"s",
"message":
{
"mob":"9999999999",
"rctype":"Rr",
"rcservice":"Aircel",
"rcmobile":"8460149820",
"rcamt":"20",
"rcpin":"1234",
"mytxid":"4850",
"optxid":GUJNishant123,
"txid":null,
"rcstatus":s,
"rcmsg":null,
"rctime":null,
"rcbal":null,
"rcsimbal":null,
"rcremark":null,
"rcchnnl":null
},
"type":"RECHARGE",
"reqid":"4850"
}
when i am parsing this json Response then getting error...
var ResponseData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RechargeGridDTO>(msg);
please give me the solution how i can parse this type of Response in using JsonConvert in C#

"optxid":GUJNishant123,
"rcstatus":s,
Those parts are not valid JSON. Strings need to be quoted:
"optxid":"GUJNishant123",
"rcstatus":"s",

C# Json Deserialization fails

I'm trying to make an application that can show local TV guide trough JSON rest api C #, but has some problems with deserialization of my Json response.
i'm only intresest in the array NOW in my json call and i do not own the api service.
I get this error message:
An exception of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException' occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.DLL but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[TDC_Play_TV_Mobil.superclass2+Now]' 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 'now', line 1, position 7.

Your JSON isn't a List<superclass2.Now>, it's a superclass2.RootObject. So you need to do something like:
public async Task<List<superclass2.Now>> GetComments()
{
client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.GetAsync(new Uri("http://api.yousee.tv/rest/tvguide/nowandnext/"));
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
string json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(json);
var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<superclass2.RootObject>(json));
var value = await task;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Comments er lavet");
return (value == null ? null : value.now);
}
else
{
throw new Exception("Errorhandling message");
}
}
Agree with Jon Skeet it would be nicer to eliminate the nesting of classes, purely for improved readability. If you need these classes to exist only in a specific scope, it is better to use nested namespaces. They aren't causing your bug, however.

Here is the code I use to convert to the object.
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var xx = (PersonsearchVM)js.Deserialize(jsonstr, typeof(PersonsearchVM));
Is there any other wat to generate the object and parse?

I think you have some invalid characters in your JSON string. Run it through a validator and add the necessary escape characters.
http://jsonlint.com/

You aren't casting it to the right object. Cast it to the type RootObject.
Eg
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var xx = (RootObject)js.Deserialize(jsonstr, typeof(RootObject));
The code that json 2 csharp creates is this:
public class SearchParameters
{
public string key { get; set; }
public string system { get; set; }
}
public class Self
{
public string href { get; set; }

The following function will convert JSON into a C# class where T is the class type.
public static T Deserialise<T>(string json)
{
T obj = Activator.CreateInstance<T>();
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(json)))
{
DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(obj.GetType());
obj = (T)serializer.ReadObject(ms); //
return obj;
}
}
You need a reference to the System.Runtime.Serialization.json namespace.
The function is called in the following manner;
calendarList = Deserialise<GoogleCalendarList>(calendarListString);
calendarlist being the C# class and calendarListString the string containing the JSON.
