I'm having a bit of trouble deserializing data returned from Facebook using the JSON.NET libraries. The JSON returned from just a simple wall post looks like: { "attachment":{"description":""}, "permalink":"http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=123456789" } The JSON returned for a photo looks like: "attachment":{ "media":[ { "href":"http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=12345", "alt":"", "type":"photo", "src":"http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/12345_s.jpg", "photo":{"aid":"1234","pid":"1234","fbid":"1234","owner":"1234","index":"12","width":"720","height":"482"}} ], Everything works great and I have no problems. I've now come across a simple wall post from a mobile client with the following JSON, and deserialization now fails with this one single post: "attachment": { "media":{}, "name":"", "caption":"", "description":"", "properties":{}, "icon":"http://www.facebook.com/images/icons/mobile_app.gif", "fb_object_type":"" }, "permalink":"http://www.facebook.com/1234" Here is the class I am deserializing as: public class FacebookAttachment { public string Name { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public string Href { get; set; } public FacebookPostType Fb_Object_Type { get; set; } public string Fb_Object_Id { get; set; } [JsonConverter(typeof(FacebookMediaJsonConverter))] public List<FacebookMedia> { get; set; } public string Permalink { get; set; } } Without using the FacebookMediaJsonConverter, I get an error: Cannot deserialize JSON object into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[FacebookMedia]'. which makes sense, since in
