How to extract a list from appsettings.json in .net core

Question

I have an appsettings.json file which looks like this:

{
    \"someSetting\": {
        \"subSettings\": [
            \"one\",
            \"two\",
                 


        

Answer 1

Assuming your appsettings.json looks like this:

{
  "foo": {
    "bar": [
      "1",
      "2",
      "3"
    ]
  }
}

You can extract the list items like so:

Configuration.GetSection("foo:bar").Get>()
