Extract data from a litjson file and load it to a list C#

Question

Sorry this is a repost, I accidentally erased my other one. I'm a total noob on here, but alright at unity engine. Anyway I was wonder how would I go about extracting data from a litjson save file (Where I saved data from one list) , and load it in another list. Thanks.

  using UnityEngine;
  using System.Collections;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  
  [System.Serializable]
  public class JsonIcons {
      
      public string IconName;//Shows the icon Name in the list
      public int IconID;// Shows the Icon ID in the list
      public Sprite AssignIcon;
  
      
      public JsonIcons(string Name, int ID )
      {
  
          IconName = Name;
          IconID = ID;
      }
      
  
      public JsonIcons()
      {
          
          
      }
      
      
  
  }
  
  
  
  
  
  using UnityEngine;
  using System.Collections;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using LitJson;
  using System.IO;
  
  //This class that does the saving
  public class JsonTest : MonoBehaviour {
  
      public List<JsonIcons> JIcon = new List<JsonIcons>();
      public JsonData JCD;
  
      protected JsonIcons KZ,
      TestTK;
  
      
      
      public void Start()
      {
          TestTK = new JsonIcons("Kagami", 40);
          KZ = new JsonIcons("Magic", 0);
          
          JIcon.Add(TestTK); //Add things to the list to be save
          JIcon.Add(KZ);
  
          JCD = JsonMapper.ToJson(JIcon);
          //This is where I saved the things inside the JIcon list to a Json file
          File.WriteAllText(Application.dataPath + "/JsonSaveTest.json", JCD.ToString());
          //Debug.Log(JCD);
  
      }
  
  }
  
  
  
  
  
  
  using UnityEngine;
  using System.Collections;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.IO;
  using LitJson;
  
  
  public class JsonReadTest : MonoBehaviour {
  
      public List<JsonIcons> ReadSJ = new List<JsonIcons>();
      
      private string JString;
      public JsonData IconData;
  
      // Use this for initialization
      void Start () 
      {
          //Trying to get this file to load in the correct format inside the ReadSJ list
          JString = File.ReadAllText(Application.dataPath + "/JsonFiles/JsonSaveTest.json");
          IconData = JsonMapper.ToObject(JString);
      }
  
  
  
      // Update is called once per frame
      void Update () 
      {
      
      }
  }

Hey what's up I was looking for your old post, now I see why I couldn't find it. I believe I have something that could steer you in the right way, as it doesn't convert the whole list at once just only one element. But as I was messing around I came up with something like this. Maybe someone has a better way. But this is what I got:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System; //Need this for the convert.Int32
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.IO;
 using LitJson;
 
 
 public class JsonReadTest : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public List<JsonIcons> ReadSJ = new List<JsonIcons>();
 
     public JsonIcons JI;
     private string JString;
     public JsonData IconData;
 
 
     //public JsonIcons[] ExampleTest = Directory.GetFiles(Application.dataPath );
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () 
     {    JString = File.ReadAllText(Application.dataPath + "/JsonFiles/JsonSaveTest.json");
         IconData = JsonMapper.ToObject(JString);
 
         JI = new JsonIcons();// This helps to add things to this list
         JI.IconName = IconData[0]["IconName"].ToString(); //This add the Iconname to the list
         JI.IconID = Convert.ToInt32( IconData[0]["IconID"].ToString());//This converts the number to be used as a string to the list
 
         Debug.Log(JString);
         ReadSJ.Add(JI); //And this adds the things inside of "new JsonIcons()"
 
 
     }
 }



 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.IO;//You don't need this I was just testing
 using LitJson;//You don't need this I was just testing
 
 [System.Serializable]
 public class JsonIcons {
     
     public string IconName;
     public int IconID;
     public Sprite AssignIcon;
 
     
     public JsonIcons(string Name, int ID )
     {
 
         IconName = Name;
         IconID = ID;
     }
 
 
 }
