Convert C# model to plain json-string

Question

Is there any simple way to convert an C#-object into a plain string that is escaped and can be used by javascript?

I try to pass the string into a jQuery-function which will replace some parts of this string with real values to pass them as request-object via $.ajax.

Whatever I tried (found in the internet) doesn't work.

Currently I have:

var jsVariable = "@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(new MyClass()))"

but this throws an Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier as of the " are not escaped correctly.

Update 1

At the end I would like to have the JSON-string like

"{"Prop1": "{0}", "Prop2":"{1}"}"

on which I can (in javascript) call

var request = string.Format(jsVariable, value1, value2);

to enable

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "someUrl",
    data: $.parseJson(request),
    success: function(data) {
        console.log("success");
    },
    dataType: "JSON"
})

I think you can use the json serializeation method that will convert to the json object — Muhammad Usman

Just get rid of the double quotes.

Make sure this is added in the script tag of your view.

var jsVariable = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(new MyClass()))

you'd then get a javascript object with its properties - provided MyClass is defined, and is accessible in your CSHTML.

jsVariable.myProp, jsVariable.myOtherProp . . etc

That's what I partially also ended up with. I thought there would be a simple way to have this as string inside javascript to replace the property-values like string.Format(jsVariable, value1, value2) and build the $.ajax data from this. So it's more like some kind of a template of the Request-object

if you want to alter the property values and pass it to your ajax call - you could just alter your properties like this: jsVariable.myProp = yourNewValue, then you could pass the same object to your ajax call - data: JSON.stringify(jsVariable)
