{"FirstName":"Andrew","LastName":"Fuller","Title":"Vice President, Sales"}]

it is understood that for simple ops like this, manually assemble DOM is okay. But I am still a bit surprised that no one mentioned jquery templating.

see details from this link: Jquery Template, With below contents cited there.

The plugin parses a template using data attributes to populate the data. Simply pass in a JavaScript object, and the plugin does the rest.

An example template is below:

<script type="text/html" id="template">
     <div data-content="author"></div>
     <div data-content="date"></div>
     <img data-src="authorPicture" data-alt="author"/>
     <div data-content="post"></div> </script>

And to use this do the following:

 $("#template-container").loadTemplate($("#template"),
     {
         author: 'Joe Bloggs',
         date: '25th May 2013',
         authorPicture: 'Authors/JoeBloggs.jpg',
         post: 'This is the contents of my post'
     });

Similarly the content of the template could be held in a separate html file without the enclosing script tag, and used like the following:

 $("#template-container").loadTemplate("Templates/template.html",
     {
         author: 'Joe Bloggs',
         date: '25th May 2013',
         authorPicture: 'Authors/JoeBloggs.jpg',
         post: 'This is the contents of my post'
     });

The plugin has a number of data-... attributes that can be used to populate various attributes with the data. There is also the powerful data-template-bind attribute that accepts a JSON object, enabling binding to any attribute, or the content of the element.

I don't believe you need jQuery for this. A foreach in razor should be enough. Something like this should work (given that the model passed is IEnumerable) :

<table id="employee">
@foreach (var employee in Model)
{
 <tr>
  <td>@employee.LastName</td>
  <td>@employee.FirstName</td>
  <td>@employee.TItle</td>
 </tr>
}
</table>

$(document).ready(function() {
      var jsonp = '[{"Lang":"jQuery","ID":"1"},{"Lang":"C#","ID":"2"}]';
      var lang = '';
      var obj = $.parseJSON(jsonp);
      $.each(obj, function() {
          lang += this['Lang'] + "<br/>";
      });
      $('span').html(lang);
    });​

I did something like this before:

var apiUrl = 'UrlOfData';
$(document).ready(function () {
    $.getJSON(apiUrl)
        .done(function (data) {
            for (var item in data){
                $('#people').append(item.FirstName);
            }
        })
        .fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, err) {
            $('#people').text('Error: ' + err);
        });
});
