I use the below to convert / serialize to JSON ( Newtonsoft.JSON ):

var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(reqUsers);
With the above code I get a json string like this:
[{ username: "alan", firstName: "Alan", lastName: "Johnson", email: "alan@test.com" },
 { username: "allison", firstName: "Allison", lastName: "House", email: "al@test.com" },
 { username: "ryan", firstName: "Ryan", lastName: "Carson", email: "ryan@test.com" } ]
however here is what I need to get : since I am using handlebars templating - 
var testdata = {
  users: [
  { username: "alan", firstName: "Alan", lastName: "Johnson", email: "alan@test.com" },
  { username: "allison", firstName: "Allison", lastName: "House", email: "al@test.com" },
  { username: "ryan", firstName: "Ryan", lastName: "Carson", email: "ryan@test.com" } ]
How can use the Serializer to name the JSON array as above ?
                When accessing the joson in the JS I had to use   'var thejson = @Html.Raw(json);'     to not have issues with the quotes

                This is using the System.Web.Script.Serialization namespace instead of Netwonsoft.Json as the original poster was using. It's a valid option however.
