mvc 4 assembly reference missing for Json.Encode

Question

I am trying to call a Json.Encode(...) method in MVC 4 and I\'m getting an error: The name \'Json\' does not exist in the current context.

Apparently if you create a new empty web project, and try and move everything into Areas, it removes the Helpers library. But if you create it as an internet project, they remain. I created a new project as an internet project and everything works now.
