How to create array of strings in mvc 5

Question

Client code

var availableTags = ["tag1", "tag2"];

I take tags from database, how to create variable in mvc 5? I want to write this:

var availableTags = @ViewBag.Tags;

I've tried

ViewBag.Tags = JsonConvert.SerializeObject( new List<string>() { "Tag1", "Tag2" });

But this doesn't work

var availableTags = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewBag.Tags))'; — user3559349
