How to return JSON structure in ASP MVC

Question

i need to return a JSON with this format:

{"answers": [{"id": "93", "value":"Ahstron"}, 
             {"id"="94", "value"="Sampers"}]}

Im using the return Json() method form ASP MVC Framework, is there a way to specify that this JSOn is a collection of answers like in the sample code? or must i create my own?

with the

return Json(answers);

i just get this:

[{"id": "93", "value":"Ahstron"}, 
{"id"="94", "value"="Sampers"}]}

Answer 1

Try

return Json(new {answers = answers});

Answer 2

It almost worked, the correct syntax is:

return Json(new { answers = answers});

Thx a lot =)
