是否可以将XML反序列化为List <T>？

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Xml.Linq;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string xml = @"<items>
                          <item>
                            <name>Item 1</name>
                           <value>10</value>
                          </item>
                          <item>
                            <name>Item 2</name>
                           <value>20</value>
                          </item>
                        </items>";

        List<Item> items = DeserializeXml<List<Item>>(xml);

        foreach (Item item in items)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Name: {item.Name}, Value: {item.Value}");
        }
    }

    public static T DeserializeXml<T>(string xml)
    {
        XElement element = XElement.Parse(xml);
        T result = element.Descendants().Where(e => e.Name == "item").Select(e => new Item
        {
            Name = e.Element("name").Value,
            Value = int.Parse(e.Element("value").Value)
        }).ToList<T>();

        return result;
    }
}

public class Item
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Value { get; set; }
}
