Deserialize array of different types from mongodb to c#

Question

I have a data with array in mongodb collection

"data": [
         [
           "FA3T1",
           16
         ]
       ]

Can anyone please suggest what would be the datatype to be mentioned in c# for the data to get deserialized.

I have tried the below options but it doesnt seem to work

List<object> data {get;set;}

or

ArrayList data {get;set;}

What do you mean by "does not seem to work"? Do you get an error or is data null? — Markus

List<List<object>> should work:

        public class Entity
        {
            public List<List<object>> data { get; set; }
        }

        var document = BsonDocument.Parse($@"
        {{
            data : [ [ 'FA3T1', 16 ] ]
        }}");
        var result = BsonSerializer.Deserialize<Entity>(document);
