Escape HTML tags when converting c# view model to javascript model

Question

I'm trying to convert the C# Model in razor to javascript model using JsonConvert.SerializeObject.

var brandsCollectionModel = '@(Html.Raw(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Model)))';

The Model contains a number of properties of a different type. The problem is that some of these properties contain special characters, such as "<, >".

Unfortunately this causes javascript syntax error: "SyntaxError: Unexpected token <" I'm trying to find a way to detect a property that contains special characters and encode it. I'm using Html.Raw to prevent encoding as I don't want to escape double quotes that are generated when converting Model to JSON string.

I would be thankful for your help.

can you try this: var data = '@JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Model)'; var jsObj = JSON.parse(data.replace(/"/g,'"')); — Karthik M R

Assign the serialized Model to js variable.

var data = '@JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Model)';

When the Model is Serialized to Json, it contains &quot instead of " character. So replace it with ", parse it and assign to js variable.

var jsObj = JSON.parse(data.replace(/&quot;/g,'"'));
