Deserialize list of objects in C#

Solution 1:

You have to use JsonConvert.Deserialize method.

Your json string is wrapped within square brackets ([]), hence it is interpreted as array. Therefore, you need to deserialize it to type collection of one class, for example let's call it MyClass.

public class MyClass
{
    public int matId { get; set; }
    public int value { get; set; }
}

Here is Deserialize method.

var results=JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<MyClass>>(json);

Solution 2:

Backslashes represent serialized object. You need to deserialize your List object. You can try using Generics:

public List<T> Deserialize<T>(string path)
{
   return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<T>>(path);
}
