Help with JSON deserialized - Creating Account record

Need help. Using Class below, I have deserialized JSON response however I`m not able to figure out how should I create an account in Salesforce using this deserialized data. Can someone please help?
  
public class candidateParser{
public cls_rut rut;
public class cls_rut {
    public cls_candidates candidates;
}
public class cls_ candidates {
    public cls_candidate [] candidate;
}
public class cls_candidate {
    public String candidate_id; //3
    public String candidate_code;   //AA12
    public String description;  // Steven S.
}
public static candidateParser parse(String json){
    return (candidateParser) System.JSON.deserialize(json, candidateParser.class);
}}

Deserialized JSON:
11:11:02:208 USER_DEBUG [69]|DEBUG|deserializeResults====: candidateParser:[rut=cls_rut:[candidates=cls_candidates:[candidate=(cls_candidate:[candidate_code=AA12, candidate_id=3, description=Steven S.], cls_candidate:[candidate_code= AA13, candidate_id=4, description= Brad Hess], cls_candidate:[candidate_code= AA14, candidate_id=5, description=Brad Jones], cls_candidate:[candidate_code= AA14, candidate_id=6, description=Sample candidate], cls_candidate:[candidate_code= AA16, candidate_id=7, description=ross. k],...)]]]


I`m trying below but I keep getting null response on account name. Please help -
  
candidateParser.cls_candidate deserializeResults2 =     (candidateParser.cls_candidate)JSON.deserialize(replaceJson, candidateParser.cls_candidate.class);    
System.debug('deserializeResults2====: '+deserializeResults2);

Account Acc = New Account ();
Acc.Name =  deserializeResults2.candidate_code;
Insert Acc;

Hi,

If you have already deserialized response without any errors then I would imagine your deserialized structure would look like the below(based on your class structure)

candidateParser.cls_candidate deserializeResults2 = (candidateParser.cls_candidate)JSON.deserialize(replaceJson, candidateParser.cls_candidate.class);   

List<cls_ candidates> candidateList = deserializeResults2.candidates;
List<Account>  accountList = new List<Account>();

for(cls_ candidates candidateSObj : candidateList)
{
    Account acc = New Account ();
    acc.Name = candidateSObj.candidate_code;
    accountList.add(acc);
}

insert accountList;


I have written this on text editor. So might/might not need to make changes to compile. 

Try this and let me know if its fine.


Kind regards,

Try direct way then probably it will make sence 
acc.Name = rut.candidates.candidate[0].candidate_code;
// You need to loop on candidate if there are multiple record and handle exception if there is no record

@Vivek - Thank you, I will try this approach.

@cloudSavvyProg - As per you suggestion I tried this however I noticed that it won`t work since statement below itself if retuning null.
  
candidateParser.cls_candidate deserializeResults2 = (candidateParser.cls_candidate)JSON.deserialize(replaceJson, candidateParser.cls_candidate.class);
17:29:20:068 USER_DEBUG [56]|DEBUG|deserializeResults2====: cls_candidate:[candidate_code=null, candidate_id=null, description=null]

Could you please help where I`m going wrong? is above statement not correct? 

If I use below statement, it do get a debug log with values. How can I take this forward?

  
candidateParser deserializeResults2 = (candidateParser)JSON.deserialize(replaceJson, candidateParser.class);
