Deserialize Object returns null with nested JSON when trying to map it

Question

I know this question looks familiar but in my case, it is a bit different.

1. I have consumed an API that returns data in XML format.
2. Took the API response and converted it to JSON format so that I can be able to do the mapping.

My problem, When I DeserializeObject it always returns null and I am not too sure if this is been caused by the mapping.

Question : How can I deserialize nested JSON objects for mapping the fields? Also please guide me if I have to change something in terms of converting XML to JSON

Thanks!

Converting XML response to JSON

            var result = await client.GetAsync($"url");

            var xml = result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
            XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
            doc.LoadXml(xml);
            string json = JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(doc);

            //the results hear is null for all the properties
            var des = (AccountLite)Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json, typeof(AccountLite));
            Console.WriteLine(des);
            Console.ReadLine();

JSON Object

{
"MessageEnvelope": {
    "ListOfAccountLite": {
        "AccountLite": [
            {
                "Id": "",
                "AccountStatus": "",
                "AccountTypeCode": "",
                "CSN": "",
                "Location": "",
                "MasterAccountId": "",
                "Name": ""
            },
            {
                "Id": "",
                "AccountStatus": "",
                "AccountTypeCode": "",
                "CSN": "",
                "Location": "",
                "MasterAccountId": "",
                "Name": ""
            },
            {
                "Id": "",
                "AccountStatus": "",
                "AccountTypeCode": "",
                "CSN": "",
                "Location": "",
                "MasterAccountId": "",
                "Name": ""
            }
        ]
    }   
}
}

C# Generated class based on the JSON object

public partial class Welcome
{
    [JsonProperty("MessageEnvelope")]
    public MessageEnvelope MessageEnvelope { get; set; }
}

public partial class MessageEnvelope
{
    [JsonProperty("ListOfAccountLite")]
    public ListOfAccountLite ListOfAccountLite { get; set; }
}

public partial class ListOfAccountLite
{
    [JsonProperty("AccountLite")]
    public AccountLite[] AccountLite { get; set; }
}

public partial class AccountLite
{
    [JsonProperty("Id")]
    public string Id { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("AccountStatus")]
    public string AccountStatus { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("AccountTypeCode")]
    public string AccountTypeCode { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("CSN")]
    public string Csn { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("Location")]
    public string Location { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("MasterAccountId")]
    public string MasterAccountId { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("Name")]
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Simply deserialize to the root class Welcome instead of AccountLite .

//var des = (AccountLite)Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json, typeof(AccountLite));

Welcome welcome = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Welcome>(json);
