get multiple json objects from single controller call

Question

How can I get multiple json objects from single MVC controller? In below example if I only want to return fishes (pond) I would do:

return Json(pond, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet)

but how to return both fishes and trees in single json?

   public ActionResult PondAndForestData()
    {
        List<Fish> pond = context.getAllFishes();
        List<Tree> forest = context.getAllTrees();
        // return both as one combined Json?
    }

You can return array in one JSON object

Create a new anonymous object with 2 properties

public ActionResult PondAndForestData()
{
    List<Fish> pond = context.getAllFishes();
    List<Tree> forest = context.getAllTrees();
    return Json(new { Ponds= pond, Trees= forest},JsonRequestBehaviour.Allow.GET);
}

In your client side whereever you are calling this action method, you should access Ponds / Trees property as needed.Both of them will be an array.

Create a new Class containing the following as member variables. Then pass an instance of that class as JSON.

List<Fish> pond = context.getAllFishes();
List<Tree> forest = context.getAllTrees();
