Answer 1

I was wanting to work with JSON as well in an ASP.Net project using VS2015. I ended up here trying to find answers. Right about the time I finished reading the other answers on this post I noticed my project already had a reference to Newtonsoft.Json. Never heard of it before so I looked it up; I'm glad I did.

It was literally a one liner to Serialize a List to JSON. You can pass in an Object so you should be able to serialize most any Object within reason.

Ultimately I didn't need to install MVC3 or reference System.Web.Helpers

Hope this helps!
