Question

In my controller I have the following code to generate a Json response whenever a particular URL is hit.

    public JsonResult LatLng()
    {
        var zones = zoneRepository.GetCoordinates().ToList();

        return Json(zones, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

The output looks like this.

[{"Zip_Code":1001,"City":"Agawam","DMA":"SPRINGFIELD, MA"},...

My question is the following. Shouldn’t there be an array name preceding the Json array? For example:

{"zones":[{"Zip_Code":...

When I parse this using Jquery I need to use something along the lines of $.each(json.zones so I’m wondering how to include the array name in the Jason response. Thanks!

try

return Json(new { zones = zones }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
