Newtonsoft keeps throwing Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException. Why?

Question

I'm working with the following json:

This is from Spiget API, and here is the link to exactly what the API query is: "https://api.spiget.org/v2/search/resources/worldedit" I manually wrote out this whole class structure:

    public class file
    {
        public string type { get; set; } 
        public int size { get; set; }
        public string sizeUnit { get; set; }
        public string url { get; set; }
        public string? externalUrl { get; set; }
    }

    public class version
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
        public string uuid { get; set; }
    }

    public class author
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
    }

    public class category
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
    }
    
    public class rating
    {
        public int count { get; set; }
        public double average { get; set; }
    }

    public class icon
    {
        public string url { get; set; }
        public string data { get; set; }
        public string info { get; set; }
        public string hash { get; set; }
    }

    public class Root
    {
        public file file { get; set; }
        public int likes { get; set; }
        public List<string> testedVersions { get; set; }
        public List<string> links { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string tag { get; set; }
        public version version { get; set; }
        public author author { get; set; }
        public category category { get; set; }
        public rating rating { get; set; }
        public icon icon { get; set; }
        public int releaseDate { get; set; }
        public int updateDate { get; set; }
        public int downloads { get; set; }
        public bool premium { get; set; }
        public string sourceCodeLink { get; set; }
        public string donationLink { get; set; }
        public int existenceStatus { get; set; }
        public int id { get; set; }
    }

Key information: externalUrl is sometimes there and sometimes not, something I also have to deal with. And then to finish things off, I used the following code:

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
dynamic JSONData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(wc.DownloadString("https://api.spiget.org/v2/search/resources/worldedit?field=name&size=1"));
Console.WriteLine(JSONData.testedVersions);

Basically I'm working with Spiget and I'm trying to deserialize the json data that the API gives to me. However, I keep getting the same error. I've tried using autogenerated class structures, borrowed code, etc, and nothing is working. I even resorted to writing out the class structure I referenced earlier which took forever, and it still didn't work.

Double check your types. file.size should be an int but you made it a string in your class. — Turksarama
– Turksarama, Commented Apr 8, 2021 at 5:45
@Turksarama Thanks I appreciate it! I just went through, and I'll update the code shortly, but that isn't the issue. The error is still appearing — CaptainBear
– CaptainBear, Commented Apr 8, 2021 at 5:48
links is a dictionary in the JSON but a List<string> in your class. — Ian Mercer
– Ian Mercer, Commented Apr 8, 2021 at 5:58
You're deserializing a single Root, but the json is a collection of Root; try JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<IReadOnlyCollection<Root>> instead. — sellotape

The two problems with your code were:

You were using List for links instead of using Dictionary<string, string>
Also response from API was in Array form and you were trying to convert it to single object instead of converting it into List or ObservableCollection.

I made some changes in your code. Here's code:

public class File
    {
        public string type { get; set; }
        public int size { get; set; }
        public string sizeUnit { get; set; }
        public string url { get; set; }
        public string externalUrl { get; set; }
    }

    public class Version
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
        public string uuid { get; set; }
    }

    public class Author
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
    }

    public class Category
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
    }

    public class Rating
    {
        public int count { get; set; }
        public double average { get; set; }
    }

    public class Icon
    {
        public string url { get; set; }
        public string data { get; set; }
        public string info { get; set; }
        public string hash { get; set; }
    }

    public class Root
    {
        public File file { get; set; }
        public int likes { get; set; }
        public List<string> testedVersions { get; set; }
        public Dictionary<string, string> links { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string tag { get; set; }
        public Version version { get; set; }
        public Author author { get; set; }
        public Category category { get; set; }
        public Rating rating { get; set; }
        public Icon icon { get; set; }
        public int releaseDate { get; set; }
        public int updateDate { get; set; }
        public int downloads { get; set; }
        public bool premium { get; set; }

The answer is as follows. The classes need to be defined as such:

public class File
    {
        public string type { get; set; }
        public int size { get; set; }
        public string sizeUnit { get; set; }
        public string url { get; set; }
        public string externalUrl { get; set; }
    }

    public class Version
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
        public string uuid { get; set; }
    }

    public class Author
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
    }

    public class Category
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
    }

    public class Rating
    {
        public int count { get; set; }
        public double average { get; set; }
    }

    public class Icon
    {
        public string url { get; set; }
        public string data { get; set; }
        public string info { get; set; }
        public string hash { get; set; }
    }

    public class Root
    {
        public File file { get; set; }
        public int likes { get; set; }
        public List<string> testedVersions { get; set; }
        public Dictionary<string, string> links { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string tag { get; set; }
        public Version version { get; set; }
        public Author author { get; set; }
        public Category category { get; set; }
        public Rating rating { get; set; }
        public Icon icon { get; set; }
        public int releaseDate { get; set; }
        public int updateDate { get; set; }
        public int downloads { get; set; }
        public bool premium { get; set; }
        public string sourceCodeLink { get; set; }
        public string donationLink { get; set; }
        public int existenceStatus { get; set; }
        public int id { get; set; }
    }

And the function that uses the API needs to be written like this:

public static void SaveAsJson()
{
    string url = "https://api.spiget.org/v2/search/resources/worldedit?field=name&size=1";
    using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
    {
        ObservableCollection<Root> myObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ObservableCollection<Root>>(wc.DownloadString("https://api.spiget.org/v2/search/resources/worldedit?field=name&size=1"));
        Console.WriteLine(myObj.First().name.ToString());
    }
}
