Issue with JSON Serialisation

When converting from object to json i need my list of object to be as follows "group": [{ "item": {}, "item": {} }] Instead I am getting "group": [{ "item": [ {}, {} ] }] How would I create my object to serialise it in the correct way? Thanks in advance

currently the group class looks like this

    public class FilterGroup
    {
        public List<FilterItem> item { get; set; }
    }

    public class FilterGroup
    {
        public List<FilterItem> item { get; set; }
    }

I mean... you declared item as a list of objects lol So it serialized to a json list

so i cant really make it serialise the correct way? without making a custom toJson method

Err, i mean if you don't want it to be a list don't make it a list It's doing it the correct way right now

but then how do i allow multiple

I mean... u use a list lol like ur doing Which will generate a json with a list This first example only allows one item So it doesn't allow multiple

which means i need a custom ToJson method for it i guess

No... You don't This is a weird question cuz you want a list but you want it to not be a list? Like that makes 0 sense
