ASP.Net Core supports it binding a list of strings or objects.

For strings as mentioned, it is possible to retrieve it through AsEnumerable().

Or a list of objects via Get(). The sample is below.

appsettings.json

{
...
  "my_section": {
    "objs": [
      {
        "id": "2",
        "name": "Object 1"
      },
        "id": "2",
        "name": "Object 2"
      }
    ]
  }
...
}

Class to represent the object

public class MyObject
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Code to retrieve from appsettings.json

Configuration.GetSection("my_section:objs").Get>();
