JsonReaderException when trying to deserialize json string

I try to deserialize this json string i get from sendgrid. I use sendgridplus repository by hakanL: https://github.com/HakanL/sendgridplus-csharp

[{"email":"[email protected]","Identification":"934224","timestamp":1387734767,"ip":"83.223.255.137","useragent":"Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 7_0_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/537.51.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/11B511","category":["ReservationConfirmation"," Online"," Salonkey-86432150"," AppointmentId-132347"," SalonId-223"],"event":"open"}]

Here is the method i am using:

public static List<EventData> GetEvents(string json)
        {
            // RWM: Deal with v1 and v2 batched Event data.
            if (!json.StartsWith("["))
            {
                json = string.Format("[{0}]", json.Replace("}" + Environment.NewLine + "{", "},{"));
            }

            // RWM: Hack to deal with SendGrid not being able to get their shit together and send well-formed JSON.
            if (!json.EndsWith("]"))
            {
                json += "]";
            }

            _logger.Info("Json returned: " + JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<EventData>>(json));

            return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<EventData>>(json);
        }

got same issue, looks like response had empty line.

.TrimEnd() fixed issue, not bad to ask 'sendgridplus-csharp' add same fix.

Dim jsonData As String = sr.ReadToEnd().TrimEnd()

also fix 'SendGridCategoryConverter' if you going to serialize your EventData anywhere:

//// Left as an exercise to the reader :)

serializer.Serialize(writer, value);
