Deserializing json into a list of objects - Cannot create and populate list type [duplicate]

Answer 1

The problem is that json.net doesn't know how to add data to your Battles class. There is couple way to fix that:

1. Deserialize your data to a list:

   JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<RootObject>>(jsr.ReadToEnd());

2. Instead of implementing IEnumerable, implement ICollection<RootObject> in your Battles class, then JsonConvert will properly populate it with data:

   public class Battles: ICollection<RootObject>
