Question

1. How would you create this Json object from my ASP.Net MVC 3 Controller ?

2. Newbie in Json, in this Json object notation, can I replace the [ and ] sign with { and }?

   var data = [
       {
           label: 'node1',
           children: [
               { label: 'child1' },
               { label: 'child2' }
           ]
       },
       {
           label: 'node2',
           children: [
               { label: 'child3' }
           ]
       }
   ];
   

Thanks

Answer 1

you have the JavascriptSerializer object in .NET which can serialize most types

see:

and no you can’t replace [ with { (obviously you can but almost all desrializers of JSON apart from something you wrote yourself wouldn’t then understand the data)
