How to pass model from view to javascript in asp.net MVC4

Question

I'm new to asp.net MVC4, please be patient.

I have a controller which returns ActionResult with a model. I can use this model through Razor but I'd like to use it in JavaScript. this what I've tried to do according to some answers on the internet:

@{
var property = Model;
}
var prop = @(property);
var data= @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(prop ));

But it's not working. What do I need to do in order to pass my model to JavaScript?

Just use

 <script>
 var data = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model));
 </script>

Problem with Your Code

@{
var property = Model; 
}
var prop = @(property); //Here model is not properly encoded
var data= @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(prop )); //You are passing Javascript variable
