Deserialise part of a json response
Hello, how could I use newtonsoft to deserialise part of a large json response into a smaller set of objects? e.g. if the response is... 
{
  "count": 100,
  "next": "https://api",
  "previous": null,
  "results": [
    {
      "name": "a",
      "id": 1,
      "extra": "whatever"
    },
     {
      "name": "b",
      "id": 2,
      "extra": "whatever"
    },
  ]
}
{
  "count": 100,
  "next": "https://api",
  "previous": null,
  "results": [
    {
      "name": "a",
      "id": 1,
      "extra": "whatever"
    },
     {
      "name": "b",
      "id": 2,
      "extra": "whatever"
    },
  ]
}
...how would I extract just an array of the elements in result, with only some params, e.g. [ { "a", 1 }, { "b" , 2 } ]

❔ Are TryAsync methods acceptable?
I've just been refactoring some implementations of a method I have to go from T Load() to bool TryLoad(out T? result), which as far as I'm concerned is not an anti pattern. I was about to do the same for my Task<T> LoadAsync methods but am wondering if this is bad practice and having bool TryLoadAsync(out Task<T?> result) may have some unforeseen consequences?
