在C＃中将JSON对象中的特定属性值转换为IEnumerable

Question

I have a JSON object that looks like this

{
"totalCount": 2,
    "students": [{
        "name": "abc",
        "data": {
            "Maths": 20,
            "Science": 25
        },
        "score": 10.0
    },
    {
        "name": "xyz",
        "data": {
            "Maths": 44,
            "Science": 12
        },
        "score": 11.0
    }]
}

I want to deserialize this JSON object to an IEnumerable<String> that contains all the names.

I want - private IEnumerable<String> GetAllNames(string json) to return ["abc","xyz"]

This is just sample data (and not homework!!). Any advice on how to achieve this would be appreciated. I'm using Newtonsoft library but haven't been able to do this effectively yet. I do not want to iterate through the objects and construct the list myself, any direct way of doing this?

EDIT - This is what I'm doing currently

var studentList = new List<string>();

var json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(jsonString);

foreach (var data in json.students)
   {
     catalogsList.Add(data.name.toString());
   }

return catalogsList;

Try this:

private IEnumerable<string> GetAllNames(string json)
{
    JObject jo = JObject.Parse(json);
    return jo["students"].Select(s => s["name"].ToString());
}
