Newtonsoft.Json empty object after deserialization

Question

I'm trying to deserialize JSON from a url using the following code. I'm getting an empty object even though I'm downloading a valid JSON string.

public static void tryjson() {
    string json = new WebClient().DownloadString("http://www.sofascore.com/football/livescore/json");
    SportItem sportItem = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SportItem>(json);
}

    public Params @params { get; set; }
    public bool isShortDate { get; set; }
}

What am I doing wrong?

Seems like you used json2csharp.com . RootObject is the root class. try JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json); — Eser

Try this:

System.Net.WebClient wc = new System.Net.WebClient();
wc.DownloadStringCompleted += (s, u) =>
{
    DownloadStringCompleted(s, u);
};
wc.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://www.sofascore.com/football/livescore/json"));


private void DownloadStringCompleted(object s, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs u)
{
    try
    {
        var Item = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(u.Result.ToString());
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    { }
}

It looks like you need to parse into the json object first. Example:-

var data = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(resultJson);
