.Net Core CSharp Custom Json Deserialization

How can i perform custom deserialization of this object in .Net Core C#, that Afpak is assigned as 'string name' in this object class. I have the following JSon Code of the object:

{
"Afpak": {
    "id": 1,
    "race": "hybrid",
    "flavors": [
        "Earthy",
        "Chemical",
        "Pine"
    ],
    "effects": {
        "positive": [
            "Relaxed",
            "Hungry",
            "Happy",
            "Sleepy"
        ],
        "negative": [
            "Dizzy"
        ],
        "medical": [
            "Depression",
            "Insomnia",
            "Pain",
            "Stress",
            "Lack of Appetite"
        ]
    }
}

EDIT: Note the object class is Strain, it gets variable name from root of this json - in this case the name variable would be Afpak, there is 100s of different Strain class objects in this one JSON code is what I am having trouble with as it doesnt make sense to create each one as seperate class if it is all of the same class.

you should implement a class exposing the properties you want to map from that JSON object. Something like this:

public class AfpakDto{
   public string id {get;set;}
   public string race {get;set;}
   public string[] flavors {get;set;}
}
public class FooDto {
   public AfpakDto Afpak {get; set;}
}

and then use whatever library you want. Here's a nice article about System.Text.JSON: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/serialization/system-text-json-how-to?pivots=dotnet-5-0
