I've an object:
public class Test
{
public string Prop1 { get; set; }
}
I'd like to serialize it to json in a view, so in my cshtml:
<script type="text/javascript">
var myJson = JSON.parse('@Html.Raw(JsonConvert.Serialize(Model.MyTest))');
</script>
It works, until Prop1 contains quotes, because it gets rendered as:
var myJson = JSON.parse('{"Prop1":"\"Quoted text\""}');
Unfortunately, such a line throws parse error. I know that it should be:
var myJson = JSON.parse('{"Prop1":"\\"Quoted text\\""}');
How can I configure Newtonsoft to serialize it in a proper way?
You should not parse the string for a second time, since already serialized it as JSON, you can directly use it in Javascript (the JS in JSON).
var myJson = @Html.Raw(JsonConvert.Serialize(Model.MyTest));
Will output:
var myJson = {"Prop1":"\"Quoted text\""};
