JSON to array in C#

Question

I have a program that produce a JSON format. What I want to do is to store the json result into array in C#.

the json receive from API:

var strResponseContent = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Result.Text = strResponseContent.ToString(); **<-- this is working fine**

here is the look of json:

{
    "query": "banana",
    "topScoringIntent": {
        "intent": "banana",
        "score": 0.9086001
    },
    "intents": [{
            "intent": "banana",
            "score": 0.9086001
        }, {
            "intent": "bananania",
            "score": 0.559515059
        }
    ]
}

and to store the json into array. here is the structure:

public class Intents
    {
        public List<Intent> intents { get; set; }
    }

    public class Intent
    {
        public string intent { get; set; }
        public int score { get; set; }
    }

and finally, to convert, I use the deserialize object

Intents intents = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Intent>(strResponseContent);

however, during the store into json, the error comes like "can't implicitly convert type Intent to Intents"

what Is my mistake? how to correct it?

You are passing Intent as type argument to DeserializeObject where you should pass Intents. — Selman Genç

there are two things first score is not a valid int... so, try changing int for Decimal. And second try doing this:

Intents intents = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Intents>(strResponseContent);

You defined the score as integer

 public int score { get; set; }

but score is not integer. changing it to double or decimal will fix it.

John, I didn't go wrong. When I answered this question, Geraldo had mentioned the first issue. I didn't want to repeat whatever he answered. I had found another issue and I mentioned it. I feel that answer edited later by adding score issue.
