It looks, your input JSON is JSON Array. It needs to be parsed as below

You need to specify the Index to extract the respective elements. for example, To extract the first name.

var jsonResult = JArray.Parse(jsonFileContents);
Console.WriteLine("Name :" + jsonResult[0]["Name"]);

If you want to extract all the name details, then you can iterate and get it as below

Extract all the name Details from JSON Array:

       var jsonResult = JArray.Parse(jsonFileContents);
       for(int i = 0; i < jsonResult.Count; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(jsonResult[i]["Name"]);
        }

You have to look at the structure of the json object

It’s jsonobject >index array of objects > each object contains the name age

So getting first object will be like jsonresult[0][“Name”]
