How do I inject JSON into my .aspx files?

Question

Yikes .. I feel like this one should be obvious, but I guess I'm brainblocking here - Even so much that I don't know what to search for in google :S Oh well, SO to the rescue :)

Say I got this .aspx:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="MyPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="MyPage" %>
<script type="text/javascript">

//<!-- I want to inject a JSON string here, which is generated per side-request -->

function doStuffToMyData(){
   // .....
}

</script>

Any idea how I can inject a JSON string here? I got no problem generating the string, or parsing it in the browser..

It could be there's an easier way to do this? I basically want to manipulate the looks of the side, depending on changes to this data, so I figured it would be easiest to have the data as a JSON string.

Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

var myJson = '<%= "{}" %>';

Answer 2

It should be something like:

var json = <%= variableName %>

Assuming that in your codebehind, you've declared something like:

string variableName = Json.Encode(something);
