Pass variable in JSON string in C#

Question

How do I pass my variable in JSON string as shown below?

string name = "john";
string json = @"{  
                    'EmployeeName': name, 
                    'EmployeeID': '123',
                }

When I try the above I get an error.

Well you can concate the variable like

   string json =@"{  
                          'EmployeeName':" + name +", 
                          'EmployeeID': '123',
                    }"

You can as well consider using string.Format() for this purpose and in C# 6 you can use variable interpolation syntax like

   string json =$"{  
                          'EmployeeName': {name} , 
                          'EmployeeID': '123',
                    }"

Here's an example the works for me:

string json = @"[ { 'email': '" + name + "' } ]";
