You could try Json.NET. The documentation is pretty good and it should be able to do what you need. You'll also want to grab JsonNetResult as it returns an ActionResult that can be used in ASP.NET MVC application. It's quite easy to use.

Json.NET also works well with Date serialization. More info regarding that can be found here.

Hope this helps.
