JSON Array deserialization

Question

Hello All,

 

My JSON array is this:

 

{"reqData":[{"cctns_ps_cd":2044028,"fir_srno":371,"reg_year":2018},{"cctns_ps_cd":2044048,"fir_srno":309,"reg_year":2018},{"cctns_ps_cd":2044001,"fir_srno":165,"reg_year":2018},{"cctns_ps_cd":2044069,"fir_srno":547,"reg_year":2018},{"cctns_ps_cd":2044040,"fir_srno":326,"reg_year":2018},{"cctns_ps_cd":2044071,"fir_srno":213,"reg_year":2018}]}

I am trying to deserialize it like this:

 

var empObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Employee>>(json1);

 

 But fails.

 

This code works when json format is like this:

 

string json1 = @"[

{'cctns_ps_cd':2044071,'fir_srno':207,'reg_year':2018},

{'cctns_ps_cd':2044033,'fir_srno':187,'reg_year':2018},

{'cctns_ps_cd':2044044,'fir_srno':174,'reg_year':2018},

{'cctns_ps_cd':2044022,'fir_srno':201,'reg_year':2018}]";

Please help.
