Error when deserializing JSON to Object

Question

I need to convert JSON data that I get from a REST API and convert them to CSV for some analytic. The problem is that the JSON data do not necessarily follow the same conten

Since you're trying to deserialize an object type into a list type, it won't deseralize directly.

You can do this:

var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonData);
var rows = new List();

foreach (dynamic item in data)
{
    var newData = new DeserializedData();
    foreach (dynamic prop in item)
    {
         var row = new KeyValuePair
         (prop.Name.ToString(), prop.Value.ToString());
         newData.Add(row);
    }
    rows.Add(newData);
}

Here are new classes

//class for key value type data

class DeserializedData
{
    List> NewData = 
    new List>();

    internal void Add(KeyValuePair row)
    {
        NewData.Add(row);
    }
}

    [DataMember(Name ="data")]
