Getting empty array while ajax query to MVC controller

Question

I am using $.ajax method to get the data from the MVC controller. I am usingPOST method according to the JSON Hijacking for security standards. If I debug I am able to get the data in controller, but after returning data to the $.ajax's success function then it is showing me empty json array like below.

In controller I am using method as below:

public async Task<ActionResult> GetUsersFromOrganization(string searchString) {
            string accessToken = await SampleAuthProvider.Instance.GetUserAccessTokenAsync();
            var result = await graphService.GetUsersFromOrg(accessToken, searchString);
            var json = JObject.Parse(result);
            var valueJSON = json.GetValue("value");
            return Json(valueJSON, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);               
        }

json contains below data: Here is the valueJSON value

The valueJSON is a JToken, Json(valueJSON) method is serializing your valueJson as a JToken class and not as the deserialized array of objects that you need, you can try to return the JToken as a string with return Content(valueJSON .ToString(),"application/json"); or parse the JToken to the original array of objects.

You are right! If I modify code as you said valueJSON.ToString() then in success method of ajax it is giving me values. Thank you
