      "clients": [
        {
          "accountId": "53784",
          "nameOfPerson": {
            "preNominalLetters": null,
            "initials": null,
            "firstName": "bob",
            "middleName": null,
            "lastName": "gebruiker",
            "postNominalLetters": null
          },
          "email": "test@test.com",
          "profilePhoto": {
            "guid": null,
            "profilePhotoUrl": "http://www.gravatar.com",
            "useOwnProfilePhoto": false
          },
          "clientType": 0
        },
        {
          "accountId": "56308",
          "nameOfPerson": {
            "preNominalLetters": null,
            "initials": null,
            "firstName": "test",
            "middleName": null,
            "lastName": "test",
            "postNominalLetters": null
          },
          "email": "test@test.com",
          "profilePhoto": {
            "guid": null,
            "profilePhotoUrl": "http://www.gravatar.com",
            "useOwnProfilePhoto": false
          },
          "clientType": 0
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

What I have tried:

C#

JObject results = JObject.Parse(companyClients);
                    
                    foreach (var result in results["data"])
                    {
                        companyClients.Add((string)result["attributes"]);
                    }

Create the appropriate classes:

C#

public class NameOfPerson
{
    public object preNominalLetters { get; set; }
    public object initials { get; set; }
    public string firstName { get; set; }
    public object middleName { get; set; }
    public string lastName { get; set; }
    public object postNominalLetters { get; set; }
}

public class ProfilePhoto
{
    public object guid { get; set; }
    public string profilePhotoUrl { get; set; }
    public bool useOwnProfilePhoto { get; set; }
}

public class Client
{
    public string accountId { get; set; }
    public NameOfPerson nameOfPerson { get; set; }
    public string email { get; set; }
    public ProfilePhoto profilePhoto { get; set; }
    public int clientType { get; set; }
}

public class Attributes
{
    public List<Client> clients { get; set; }
}

public class Data
{
    public string type { get; set; }
    public Attributes attributes { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public Data data { get; set; }
}

(I used json2csharp - generate c# classes from json[^] to get those) and then just cast the result to the root class. You can then access the data in the normal way.

I prefer Newtonsoft JSON (Json.NET - Newtonsoft[^]) - it just seems a little easier to use to me.
