How to tell razor NOT to html escape

Question

I am using asp.net mvc 3 with razor for a project. At some I need to serialize an array from the controller, put it in the viewdata and assign it to a js object. However when I output it using

@ViewData["some array"] 

The result is html escaped so i get something like :

[{"title":"Something","id":"Something-1" etc' 

With the <%= %> this was not escaped so it was behaving as expected. Is it possible to tell razor not to escape this string. Perhaps, someone might suggest another approach all together.

Thanks in advance for any ideas

You need to output an instance of the new IHtmlString interface, which contains pre-escaped HTML.

To do that write @Html.Raw(...).
