it worked.

   fileName="xyz.json"

   byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(test);

   var content = new System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes);
   return File(content , "application/json", fileName);

public ContentResult DownloadJson(){
 var builder = new StringBuilder();
 abc abcModel= new abc(){ FirstName="Tom", LastName="Torres"};
 var test = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(abcModel);
 builder.Append($"{test}")
 var fileName = "someName.JSON";

        Response.Headers.Add("Content-Disposition", $"attachment; filename=\"{fileName}\"");

        return Content(data, "text/plain");

 }

have you tried returning a ContentResult?
