from Json to Kotlin Data class

Question

I am working on my frist Android project. I am going to build a news app. The news articles are coming from a api call, but the response body is a little bit more complicated then is thought. I have the next response body:

{
  "Results": [
    {
      "Id": 120031,
      "Feed": 1,
      "Title": "Auto bijna in tweeën gespleten bij crash met tram in Houston",

        },
        {
          "Id": 4269,
          "Name": "Buitenland"
        }
      ],
      "IsLiked": false
    },
    {

          "Name": "Buitenland"
        }
      ],
      "IsLiked": false
    }
}

I have to create a data class, could someone help me ?

data class NewsArticle(
    val id: Int,
    val feed: Int,
    val title: String?,
    val summary: String?,
    val publishDate: LocalDateTime,
    val image: String?,
    val url: String?,
    val related: List<String>? = listOf(),
    val categories: List<Categories> = listOf(),
    val isLiked: Boolean
): Parcelable {
    constructor(parcel: Parcel) : this(
        parcel.readInt(),
        parcel.readInt(),
        parcel.readString(),
        parcel.readString(),
        **TODO("publishDate")**,
        parcel.readString(),
        parcel.readString(),
        parcel.createStringArrayList(),
        **TODO("categories")**,
        parcel.readByte() != 0.toByte()
    )

    override fun writeToParcel(parcel: Parcel, flags: Int) {
        parcel.writeInt(id)
        parcel.writeInt(feed)
        parcel.writeString(title)
        parcel.writeString(summary)
        parcel.writeString(image)
        parcel.writeString(url)
        parcel.writeStringList(related)
        parcel.writeByte(if (isLiked) 1 else 0)
    }

    override fun describeContents(): Int {
        return 0
    }

    companion object CREATOR : Parcelable.Creator<NewsArticle> {
        override fun createFromParcel(parcel: Parcel): NewsArticle {
            return NewsArticle(parcel)
        }

        override fun newArray(size: Int): Array<NewsArticle?> {
            return arrayOfNulls(size)
        }
    }
}

data class Categories(
    val id: Int,
    val name: String
    )

I try to make a data class, but is not working.
