Proper JSON formatting a C# String

Question

If you do this in MVC:

var jsonData = 
    new { myimage = 
        "<img alt=\"\" src=\"/Content/images/ShowFPots.png\" />" };

return Json(jsonData);

You get this as a value

"\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"/Content/images/ShowFPots.png\" /\u003e"

How do I get this as a value, or will the <> interpret correctly when I add them to the innerHtml??

"<img alt=\"\" src=\"/Content/images/ShowFPots.png\" />"

Answer 1

that is correct javascript, unicode encoding. It'll be fine inserting it into html/DOM
