Object is not populated with the JSON data when deserialized with NewtonSoft

    using Telerik.Newtonsoft.Json;

MVC Controller:

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        string responseStr = GetJSON();
        var jObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TheViewModel>(responseStr);

        if (jObject == null)
        {
            return Content("");
        }

        return View("Default", jObject);
    }

Temporary hard coded JSON method:

    public string GetJSON() //to be replaced after testing
    {
        string json = @"{
        'name': 'Trial 11.7',
        'id': 2599,
        'version': '11.7',
        'product_id': '1040',
        'time_of_execution': '2017-08-07T22:15:38.000Z',
        'site_url': 'http://something.com/',
        'mc_gem': '11.7',
        'suite_gem': '11.7',
        'passing_percentage': 95.65,
        'failing_percentage': 4.35
        }";

        return json;
    }

The model: 

public class TheViewModel
{
    public class RootObject
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public int id { get; set; }
        public string version { get; set; }
        public string product_id { get; set; }
        public string time_of_execution { get; set; }
        public string site_url { get; set; }
        public string mc_gem { get; set; }
        public string suite_gem { get; set; }
    }
}

The problem is that I get the following as the value when I step through the code:

    jObject {Master.Project.Mvc.Models.TheViewModel}    Master.Project.Mvc.Models.TheViewModel

For some reason I am not getting the JSON deserialized into the object. It is probably something simple, but I am not seeing it.

I receive no error message to help determine the issue inside the controller.

Any help would be appreciated.

Refactor your code, extract the 'RootObject' class to its own file (or move it so that it is not defined under a class.) will solve the problem.

You're trying to convert the JSON to an object of type TheViewModel when it's looking for a type of RootObject

You can fix this by either moving all of the fields in RootObject out and into TheViewModel or by calling ...DeserializeObject<TheViewMode.RootObject>(respon‌​seStr);
