How To Convert C# String Quote to Javascript String Quote

Question

In C#, I'm trying to convert a DataTable into a Javascript object through Razor syntax. However, when assigning string values to a Javascript key, the quote strings " get converted into HTML codes in Javascript \". How do I preserve the quote " in Javascript?

Example code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    @{
        string json = "";

        foreach (DataRow x in Model.MyDataTable.Rows)
        {
            json += "{field1: \"" + x["field1"].ToString() + "\"},";
        }

        json = json.TrimEnd(',');
    }

    var table = [@json];
</script>

What I'm expecting to see in Javascript debugger:

[{field1: "0001"}, {field1: "0002"}]

What I'm getting:

[{field1: \"0001\"}, {field1: \"0002\"}]

I've tried to use HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode() but this was returning a similar issue.

You need to use RawString instead of default HtmlEncodedString

   var table = [@Raw(json)];

Great, this works! Just FYI, as I'm using ASP.NET MVC, I needed to use Html.Raw() instead.
