Converting Facebook feed from JSON to typed objects with JSON.NET

Question

The problem is, I receive a list of posts from facebook (page feed) which occasionally holds multiple comments in an array inside the post object. Only the first comment of the post gets parsed correctly. Somehow the second and later comments don't get parsed.

This is the JSON I'm going on about:

{
  "data": [ //Root object
  { //Post object
     "id": "153411918116843_304953306296036",
     "from": {
        "category": "Sports/recreation/activities",
        "category_list": [
           {
              "id": "124887510918208",
              "name": "Swimming Pool"
           }
        ],
        "name": "Twentebad",
        "id": "153411918116843"
     },
     "link": "http://dlvr.it/5bBKPx",
     "picture": "irrelevant",
     "message": "Onderzoek renovatie Twentebad! http://dlvr.it/5bBKPx",
     "created_time": "2014-05-07T09:44:18+0000",
     "comments": { // Collective comments object


        // Actual comments objects in array !!!!! ONLY FIRST GETS PARSED !!!!
        "data": [
           { //Comment object
              "id": "304953306296036_304959069628793",
              "from": {
                 "id": "884483928243965",
                 "name": "Selena Suzan Valentino"
              },
              "message": "Twentepalace",
              "can_remove": false,
              "created_time": "2014-05-07T10:32:26+0000",
              "like_count": 0,
              "user_likes": false
           },
           { Unparsed comment object
              "id": "304953306296036_305126702945363",
              "from": {
                 "id": "884483928243965",
                 "name": "Selena Suzan Valentino"
              },
              "message": "Na baantjes trekken vooral heerlijk...",
              "can_remove": false,
              "created_time": "2014-05-08T09:12:43+0000",
              "like_count": 0,
              "user_likes": false
           },
           { //Unparsed comment object
              "id": "304953306296036_305126622945371",
              "from": {
                 "id": "884483928243965",
                 "name": "Selena Suzan Valentino"
              },
              "message": "Wil infrarood sauna weer terug komt...",
              "can_remove": false,
              "created_time": "2014-05-08T09:11:20+0000",
              "like_count": 0,
              "user_likes": false
           }
        ],



        "paging": {
           "cursors": {
              "after": "MQ==",
              "before": "Mw=="
           }
        },
        "summary": {
           "order": "ranked",
           "total_count": 3
        }
     }
  }
  ]
}

I'm using JSON.NET to parse this json to a typed object list like this:

foreach (JToken facebookItem in data["data"])
{
    JToken messageCheck = facebookItem.SelectToken("message", false); //Irrelevante post als er geen inhoud in zit (false = geen error melding indien null)
    if (messageCheck != null)
    {
        itemsToAdd.Add(facebookItem.ToObject<FacebookItem>());
    }
}

The FacebookItem class looks like this:

public class FacebookItem
{
    public string id { get; set; }
    public From from { get; set; }
    public string link { get; set; }
    public string picture { get; set; }
    public string message { get; set; }
    public string created_time { get; set; }
    public Comments comments { get; set; }
    public PostPaging paging { get; set; }

    public class PostCategories
    {
        public string id { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
    }

    public class From
    {
        public string category { get; set; }
        public List<PostCategories> category_list { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string id { get; set; }
    }

    public class CommentCategories
    {
        public string id { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
    }

    //Root of Comments ("data":[ "comments":{ [],{},{} } ])
    public class Comments
    {
        public List<CommentData> data { get; set; } //SHOULD HOLD MORE THAN 1
        public CommentPaging paging { get; set; }
        public Summary summary { get; set; }
    }

    //Data gegevens van comments ("data":[ "comments":{ "data":[],{},{} } ])
    public class CommentData
    {
        public string id { get; set; }
        public CommentFrom from { get; set; }
        public string message { get; set; }
        public bool can_remove { get; set; }
        public string created_time { get; set; }
        public int like_count { get; set; }
        public bool user_likes { get; set; }
    }

    //Data gegevens van ccommenter ("data":[ "comments":{ "data":[ "from":{} ],{},{} } ])
    public class CommentFrom
    {
        public string id { get; set; }
        public string name { get; set; }
        public string category { get; set; }
        public List<CommentCategories> category_list { get; set; }
    }

    //Paging gegevens van comments ("data":[ "comments":{ [],"paging":{},{} } ])
    public class CommentPaging
    {
        public Cursors cursors { get; set; }
    }

    //Summary gegevens van comments ("data":[ "comments":{ [],{},"summary":{} } ])
    public class Summary
    {
        public string order { get; set; }
        public int total_count { get; set; }
    }

    public class Cursors
    {
        public string after { get; set; }
        public string before { get; set; }
    }

    public class PostPaging
    {
        public string previous { get; set; }
        public string next { get; set; }
    }
}

Is there a Json.net expert out there that undertands why only the first comment gets parsed? This is what the debugger show me:

Answer 1

I'll tell you where I live, please come and kill me...

I called the url from localstorage. I changed the url but changes aren't detected so it doesn't get overwritten.

So, why only one comment? I had the comments' limit set to 1 :(

Not as exiting as I hoped this would be. Hopefully the info provided can help someone in the future.
