Parsing apprequests

Hi guys, I'm using prime31 plugin to get an apprequest from facebook. I can grab the object as a whole, but when I try and parse it, I'm hitting horrific issues. Here is the object:

 {
     "data": [
         {
             "id": "213751342116104_708647025",             
             "application": 
             {
                 "name": "xxxxx xxxxx",                 
                 "id": "xxxxxxxxxx"
             },             
             "to": 
             {
                 "name": "Anthony Lewis",                 
                 "id": "xxxxxx"
             },             
             "from": 
             {
                 "name": "xxxx xxxxx",                 
                 "id": "xxxxxxxx"
             },             
             "data": "extraLife",             
             "message": "test message",             
             "created_time": "2013-08-09T12:12:45+0000"
         }, 
         {
             "id": "283880861754065_708647025",             
             "application": 
             {
                 "name": "xxxxx xxxxx",                 
                 "id": "xxxxxxxxx"
             },             
             "to": 
             {
                 "name": "Anthony Lewis",                 
                 "id": "xxxxxxxx"
             },             
             "from": 
             {
                 "name": "xxxx xxxxx",                 
                 "id": "xxxxxxxxxx"
             },             
             "data": "extraLife",             
             "message": "test message",             
             "created_time": "2013-08-08T12:49:34+0000"
         }],     
     "paging": 
     {

Although the FB says it returns an array of objects, I seem to get "NullReferenceException: A null value was found where an object instance was required."

If I cast it as a dictionary and loop through the keys, it returns data and paging but I can't seem to get further than that.

Can anyone help me out as to how to parse this?

Thanks
