How to bring this nested json into classes - json

Question

I have this nested structure
and want to parse it into classes.
I have this code to get the json file and to deserialize it
Public Function getDatasources(ByVal _token As String) As List(Of Results)
Dim client = New RestClient(_baseURI)
Dim request = New RestRequest("/datasource", Method.GET)
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + _token)
request.AddHeader("environment", _environment)
Dim jstr = client.Execute(request).Content
Dim datasourceInfo As List(Of Results) = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of List(Of Results))(jstr)
Return datasourceInfo
End Function
And build this class structure
Public Class Results
Public Property results As List(Of DatasourceInfos)
End Class
Public Class DatasourceInfos
Public Property DSContainer() As List(Of DatasourceInfo)
End Class
Public Class DatasourceInfo
Public Property id As String
Public Property name As String
Public Property description As String
Public Property created As ULong
Public Property modified As ULong
Public Property creator As List(Of Creator)
Public Property editor As List(Of Editor)
End Class
Public Class Creator
Public Property email As String
Public Property login As String
End Class
Public Class Editor
Public Property email As String
Public Property login As String
End Class
But running the code the object datasourceInfo is empty and I do not know why. Anyone who can help me here?

Answer 1

You've mistaken the meaning of the JSON icons. Only square brackets [] denote arrays/lists. The curly brackets {} denote objects.
results is a list of DatasourceInfo (not a list of a list).
DatasourceInfo.creator is a single Creator, and:
DatasourceInfo.editor is a single Editor.
Your code should be changed to:
Public Class Results
Public Property results As List(Of DatasourceInfo)
End Class
Public Class DatasourceInfo
...your other properties...
Public Property creator As Creator
Public Property editor As Editor
End Class
The DatasourceInfos class (note the s on the end) can be removed altogether.
