Problems quering/deserializing multilevel field objects - socrata

Question

https://opendata.miamidade.gov/Corrections/Jail-Bookings-May-29-2015-to-current/7nhc-4yqn?
I don't if someone could help me with this: I've been having problems parsing/de-serializing the Address information that comes inside the Location object.
This is a fragment of the code i am using:
var results = dataset.Query<MiamiDade_JailLog>(soql);
public class MiamiDade_JailLog
{
public string chargecode3 { get; set; }
public string charge2 { get; set; }
public string bookdate { get; set; }
public string charge3 { get; set; }
public string chargecode1 { get; set; }
public string chargecode2 { get; set; }
public string charge1 { get; set; }
public string dob { get; set; }
public Location1 location_1 { get; set; }
public string defendant { get; set; }
}
public class Location1
{
public bool needs_recoding { get; set; }
public string longitude { get; set; }
public string latitude { get; set; }
public HumanAddress human_address { get; set; }
}
public class HumanAddress
{
public string address { get; set; }
public string city { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
public string zip { get; set; }
}
and this is the error message:
Error converting value
"{"address":"HOMELESS","city":"MIAMI","state":"FL","zip":""}" to type
'JailLog_WFA.HumanAddress'. Path 'location_1.human_address', line 1,
position 424.

This is the response I got from Socrata:
If you look at this json response, https://opendata.miamidade.gov/resource/7nhc-4yqn.json
You'll see that for the location_1 column, we provide an object, {}
and then within there you'll see human_address which we provide as a string "" instead of as an object.
For JavaScript, it would just be JSON.parse("{\"address\":\"17725 NW 8TH PL\",\"city\":\"MIAMI GARDENS\",\"state\":\"FL\",\"zip\":\"33169\"}");
From the code you sent, it looks like you are treating HumanAddress as an object instead of as a string that needs to be parsed into an object.
If you make this change it should work.
...And this was my response:
You gave me very good info. However I had already done a workaround to parse the object.
I just removed the extra quotes from the human_ address object and was able to parse everything at once.
