I have a javascript library that is expecting this from the server but the example is in PHP
<?php
/* http://www.example.com/json.php */
$array['E'] = 'Letter E';
$array['F'] = 'Letter F';
$array['G'] = 'Letter G';
$array['selected'] = 'F';
print json_encode($array);
?>
so I trying to find how to do the above in c# asp.net-mvc given that C# arrays don't take string keys . .
public JsonResult MyAction()
{
return Json(...);
}
What does the resulting JSON look like from that PHP code?
If its an object.. you could just return an anonymous object:
return Json(new {
E = "Letter E",
F = "Letter F",
// etc...
});
If its a key-value pair, you could use a Dictionary:
return Json(new Dictionary<string, string>() {
{ "E", "Letter E" },
{ "F", "Letter F" },
// etc...
});
Try this using anonymous types:
public JsonResult MyAction()
{
return Json(
new
{
E = "Letter E",
F = "Letter F",
G = "Letter G",
Selected = "F",
});
}
