MVC - model to a json object

I had a mvc object as my model.

I need to stringfiy my model as a json object type - and then use it in js as i please.

i currently doing something like this 

    <script type="text/javascript">

    $(function () {

        var jsonData2 = '@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model))';
        showBeginDate(jsonData2);
    });
</script>

But when i try to acess a json property for exemple as jsonData2.BeginDate I keep getting undefined. jsonData2 is a json object - why can i "read" from it?

Regards

@riteshmeher 's suggestion is correct

var text = '@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model))';           
var obj = JSON.parse(text);

I don't know your model so I created a simple model with 2 attributes: Id and Name. In case that the model is a list, you can read it:

// Access to object in position 1 
var result = obj[0].Id + " - " + obj[0].Name;

In other case, access right to the property.

var result = obj.Id + " - " + obj.Name;

For more info, check this post:

UPDATE

like @Stephen Muecke said, better this:

var obj = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model));           
var result = obj[0].Id + " - " + obj[0].Name;

thank @Craig for the corrections
