title: Getting "because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly" error when deserializing a Json object
body: <p>Please help me. Where I am missing info?
  I need to deserialize the following JSON string.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>{"results":[{"series":[{"name":"PWR_00000555","columns":["time","last"],"values":[["1970-01-01T00:00:00Z",72]]}]}]}</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>For this, I have defined my class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Serie
  {
      public Serie()
      {
          this.Points = new List&lt;object[]&gt;();
      }
  
      [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "results")]
      public string results { get; set; }
  
      [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "series")]
      public string sries { get; set; }
  
  
      [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "name")]
      public string Name { get; set; }
  
      [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "columns")]
      public string[] ColumnNames { get; set; }
  
      [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "values")]
      public List&lt;object[]&gt; Points { get; set; }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I try using the de-serializer, it gives an exception.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>{"Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {\"name\":\"value\"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[InfluxDB.Serie]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.\r\nTo fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List&lt;T>) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.\r\nPath 'results', line 2, position 12."}</p>
