Cannot deserialize the current JSON array - Auth0 Management API Endpoint - despite using online POCO generators - json.net

Question

I am working with Auth0 Management API endpoints, the issue with this one.
https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2?_ga=2.197148647.957265821.1601726170-1678439180.1588036522#!/Users/get_users
Here is my rest code.
var client = new RestClient(tempapiendpoint);
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
request.AddHeader(header, bearerstring);
request.AddParameter(specificfieldname,specificfields);
request.AddParameter(includefieldname, includetrueorfalse);
IRestResponse response = await client.ExecuteAsync(request);
var myDeserializedClass = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(response.Content);
I have the following response.
[
{
"email": "somevalue",
"name": "somevalue",
"nickname": "somevalue",
"user_id": "somevalue"
},
{
"email": "somevalue",
"name": "somevalue",
"nickname": "somevalue",
"user_id": "somevalue"
},
{
"email": "somevalue",
"name": "somevalue",
"nickname": "somevalue",
"user_id": "somevalue"
}
]
At this point, I use an online class generator, such as, https://json2csharp.com/
// Root myDeserializedClass = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(myJsonResponse);
public class MyArray {
[JsonProperty("email")]
public string Email;
[JsonProperty("name")]
public string Name;
[JsonProperty("nickname")]
public string Nickname;
[JsonProperty("user_id")]
public string UserId;
}
public class Root {
[JsonProperty("MyArray")]
public List<MyArray> MyArray;
}
and everytime, I get the same error.
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'RandomStuffGeneratorPrivate.POCO.Root' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List<T> that can be deserialized from a JSON array. JsonArrayAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON array.
Path '', line 1, position 1.
A few more things I have tried.
I have tried another source for class generation, https://app.quicktype.io/. I get the exact same error.
I have checked the json for validity. it is in the correct format.
even if hand map it, this is a straight forward json.
Further, I noticed that the name of the user class and the collection name are both the same. So, I changed the name for the user class. (it never gave any errors while debugging but I changed it anyway). no change in error
When generating classes, I am taking the json string directly from the live response during debugging, from IRestResponse response.content, just in case the online API documentation is making a mistake.
i have looked at other stack questions, and in those cases, I noticed that there was some mistake related to not having a list. Here, I definitely have mapped (the online generators wont make such a mistake) the returning array to a list.

Answer 1

Looks to me that you are deserializing to the wrong class, try using : JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyArray[]>(myJsonResponse)

Answer 2

(looks like Thomas has already provided a solution which i also discovered on my own. Posting some additional details here.)
Ultimately, this seems to have worked for me.
var myDeserializedClass = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<SingleUser>>(response.Content);
I think, the issue was, I was looking for a solution, that would me something like this.
myDeserializedClass
and, I could use it, like this,
var nameOfPerson = myDeserializedClass.MyArray[0].Name;
But, i think that is not how JSON works. Perhaps, if there were other fields in the JSON body, with a mix and match of collection and non-collection values. Since, this was a complete collection, the outer layer gets eliminated or something.
Further, Quicktype class generator clearly says this at the top.
// <auto-generated />
//
// To parse this JSON data, add NuGet 'Newtonsoft.Json' then do:
//
// using RandomStuffGeneratorPrivate.POCO;
//
// var allUsers445 = AllUsers445.FromJson(jsonString);
and, the function is defined like this.
public static List<AllUsers445> FromJson(string json) => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<AllUsers445>>(json, RandomStuffGeneratorPrivate.POCO.Converter.Settings);
