Add entity to json in mvc controller

I would like to add an mock entity of my model to an existing json as a new entity. In this code example: how can I add model2 to js?

public JsonResult Get()
    {
      Employee model1 = new Employee();
      Employee model2 = new Employee();

      model1.id = 1;
      model1.name = "Fritz";
      model2.id = 2;
      model2.name = "Emil";

      JsonResult js = new JsonResult(model1);

      return js;
    }

You can add model2 into the result as follows.

JsonResult js = new JsonResult(new { Model1 = model1, Model2 = model2 });

You can create a list/array of Employee objects and add your 2 objects (model1 and model2) to that list and send the list.

public JsonResult Get()
{
    var model1 = new Employee();        
    model1.id = 1;
    model1.name = "Fritz";

    var model2 = new Employee();
    model2.id = 2;
    model2.name = "Emil";

    var list= new List<Employee> { vmodel1, model2 };
    return Json(list);
}

If this action method is HttpGet type, you should explicitly specify that when calling the Json method by using the JsonRequestBehavior enum.

return Json(list,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

This will return a response like below. An array of two items.

[{"id":1,"name":"Fritz"},{"id":2,"name":"Emil"}]

I also suggest you to use PascalCasing for the class property names. Id and Name instead of id and Name
