Consider JSON in this format :

\"Stuffs\": [
    {
        \"Name\": \"Darts\",
        \"Type\": \"Fun Stuff\"
    },
    {
        \"Name\": \"Clean Toilet         


        

Answer 1

$json = @"
{
"Stuffs": 
    [
        {
            "Name": "Darts",
            "Type": "Fun Stuff"
        },

        {
            "Name": "Clean Toilet",
            "Type": "Boring Stuff"
        }
    ]
}
"@

$x = $json | ConvertFrom-Json

$x.Stuffs[0] # access to Darts
$x.Stuffs[1] # access to Clean Toilet
$darts = $x.Stuffs | where { $_.Name -eq "Darts" } #Darts
