Json(JToken.Parse(response)) returns empty array

Question

I have used HttpClient to consume an API and in turns i'm getting the response as serialized string from response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result as mentioned below,

"{\r\n  \"responseCode\": 400,\r\n  \"errors\": [\r\n    {\r\n      \"errorCode\": \"RPM400\",\r\n      \"errorMessage\": \"A program already exists.\"\r\n    }\r\n  ]\r\n}"

I want to deserialize this as

{
  "responseCode": 400,
  "errors": [
    {
      "errorCode": "RPM400",
      "errorMessage": "A program already exists."
    }
  ]
}

Then i have to send it to the UI, the return type in the ASP.Net MVC 5 ActionMethod is ActionResult.

I have tried using Json(JObject.Parse(response)) and Json(JToken.Parse(response)) but i am getting the empty response in the postman as below

The same Json(JObject.Parse(response)) is working in another application which is ASP.Net Core 2. Could you provide some help on this?

Does this answer your question? [How do I turn a C# object into a JSON string in .NET?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6201529/how-do-i-turn-a-c-sharp-object-into-a-json-string-in-net) — Noah Boegli, Oct 06 '21 at 17:31

I have used stackOverflow's marked answer, i had to use the using System.Web.Script.Serialization; for the Deserialization then it worked because my .Net Framework was 4.7.2
