Creating and reading from appconfig.json

Question

I am trying to create config that will contains a list of servers, with extra values, something like

"Servers": [
{
  "Name": ".",
  "Type": "A"
},
{
  "Name": "Fred",
  "Type":  "B"
}
]

Is that the correct way to structure the config file?

I then haven't been able to find a way to read from the config based on the above set up.

var test = Configuration.GetSection("Servers").GetChildren();

        //List<Server> Servers = new List<Server>();
        foreach (var testItem in test)
        {
            Server server = new Server()
            {
                //Name = testItem.GetValue(,"Name"),
                //Type = testItem.GetValue("Type")
            };
            Servers.Add(server);
        }

I'd appreciate some guidance on how to set up the config, and then how to read those values.

Thanks for reading

try this

List<Server> servers = configuration.GetSection("Servers").Get<List<Server>>();
 
public class Server
{
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public string Type {get; set;}
}
