Question

I am trying to create an api for a movie guide mobile application, now i need to return json to the user containing information about the movie.

my request url is

/mobile/details/{id}

following is the controller:

public ActionResult Details(int id)
{
    return View(kr.GetMovie(id));
}

GetMovie(id) returns an object of type Movie to the view which contains all the info;

Answer 1

you should use jsonresult as action to send data back

public JsonResult details(string movieName)
        {
            var data = new {
                               name="Movie name"
                           };

            return Json(data, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
