How to query JSON data using LINQ?

Short answer: JsonArray arr = JsonNode.Parse(json).AsArray(); var names = arr.Select(node => node["Name"].GetValue<string>());

Example code

JsonArray arr = JsonNode.Parse(json).AsArray();
var names = arr.Select(node => node["Name"].GetValue<string>());

Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest uses LINQ to query orders: filter by date, project to a summary DTO, and order by total—readable C# that becomes SQL under EF Core.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
