Afternoon Everyone,
I have not been coding for a very long time and a little rusty and been asked to knock up a little export utility that gets data from an API applies some various filters then exports to excel. I can grab the data from the API and I can export to excel easily but what I need to be able to do is deserialize from JSON into a list (of CustomClass) which is where I am drawing a blank. I have tried to research online and I am either not finding what I need or I am to dumb to understand (latter very probable).
The difficulty is that there is a collection of items within the collection in the json.
Here is my class for holding the data:
Here is a sample of the JSON that I get:
Any help is much appreciated!
