在将 Xml 反序列化为 C# 对象时，如何避免由于缺少某些 Xml Elemet（例如描述和图像）而导致异常 [重复]

问：

我的 Xml 如下所示：

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SearchSuggestion xmlns="http://opensearch.org/searchsuggest2" version="2.0">
   <Query xml:space="preserve">middle ages</Query>
   <Section>
      <Item>
         <Text xml:space="preserve">Middle Ages</Text>
         <Url xml:space="preserve">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages</Url>
         <Description xml:space="preserve">In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery.</Description>

      </Item>
      <Item>
         <Text xml:space="preserve">Middle Ages in film</Text>
         <Url xml:space="preserve">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages_in_film</Url>
         <Description xml:space="preserve">Medieval films imagine and portray the Middle Ages through the visual, audio and thematic forms of cinema.</Description>

      </Item>
      <Item>
         <Text xml:space="preserve">Talk:Middle Ages/GA1</Text>
         <Url xml:space="preserve">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Middle_Ages/GA1</Url>
      </Item>
      <Item>
         <Text xml:space="preserve">Talk:Middle Ages/Archive 4</Text>
         <Url xml:space="preserve">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Middle_Ages/Archive_4</Url>
      </Item>
   </Section>
</SearchSuggestion>

我的对象如下所示：

[XmlRoot("SearchSuggestion", Namespace = "http://opensearch.org/searchsuggest2")]
    public class SearchItem
    {
        [XmlElement("Query")]
        public string query { get; set; }
        [XmlElement("Section")]
        public Section section { get; set; }

    }
    public class Section
    {
        [XmlElement("Item")]
        public Item[] items { get; set; }
    }
    public class Item
    {
        [XmlElement("Text")]
        public string Text { get; set; }
        [XmlElement("Url")]
        public string Url { get; set; }
        [XmlElement("Description")]
        public string Description { get; set; }
        [XmlElement("Image")]
        public Image Image { get; set; }
    }
    public class Image
    {
        [XmlAttribute("source")]
        public string source { get; set; }
    }

我的控制器如下所示：

        string wikiResponse; //raw response from REST endpoint
        SearchItem wikiXmlResponse = null; //Deserialized response


        wikiResponse = await httpClient.GetStringAsync(queryUri);
        var buffer = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(wikiResponse);
        using (var stream = new MemoryStream(buffer)) {

        var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SearchItem));
        wikiXmlResponse = (SearchItem)serializer.Deserialize(stream);
       }
        Items [] infoResult = wikiXmlResponse.section.items;
        for (int i = 0; i < infoResultCount; i++)
            {
               Title = infoResult[i].Text;
               Explaination = infoResult[i].Description;
               Image_Url = infoResult[i].Image.source; 
               Article_Url = infoResult[i].Url; 
            }

我从wikipedia Api获得的Xml响应，有时在响应中缺少一些元素，例如描述和图像。避免异常的最佳方法是什么？
