Here is how to convert it to Json:

        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Load(reader);
        string temp = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dt);

and if you want to convert this json to a list of objects (it could be your EF table) then use the below:

dbContext db = new dbContext();
List
