Deserialize a list of strings to an @future method using JSON.deserialize

Trying to deserialize a list of programming objects to an @future method and I'm getting this error: 

Method does not exist or incorrect signature: JSON.deserialize(LIST<String>, Type) 

 

@Future(callout=true)

    public static void send(List <String> mgs){

    List<ProgrammingObject> messages = (List<ProgrammingObject>)JSON.deserialize(msgs, List<ProgrammingObject>.class);

 

Any help?

I solved my problem by going through one by one

 

    @Future(callout=true)

    public static void send(List <String> msgString){

    List<ProgrammingObject> messages = new List<ProgrammingObject>();

    for(String s: msgString)

    {

    messages = (List<ProgrammingObject>)JSON.deserialize(s, List<ProgrammingObject>.class);

    }

JSON is fairly new to the Apex Libarary. What is the version of your APEX Classes? Make sure it is using the latest version, or at least 27.

Also if you are doing this in the Force.com IDE make sure to update your Force.com IDE so that it sees latest versions for compiling.

wassup Cory! 

 

Yeah - I know json is new and our api version was 26 and just updated to 27.  Any advice on the code I wrote?
