    JsonResult is a class that inherits ActionResult.
    It doesn’t matter which one you declare your method as returning.

    The Json() method is a helper method that returns a JsonResult; it’s simpler than writing new JsonResult { ... }.

    JsonResult wraps the built-in JSON serializer; it’s much simpler than manually serializing your objects and writing the JSON to the response stream (that’s what JsonResult does for you)
