how to display/render "@" symbol as string in mvc view as razor syntax uses the @ symbol to transition from HTML to C#?

Question

Description:I am trying to write following code in my MVC View.


<script type="application/ld+json">
    {
    "@context" : "http://mywebsite.com",
    "@type" : "WebSite"
    }
</script>

but it is throwing error "The name 'context' does not exist in the current context" as it consider it as C# code.

There are few ways to achieve this in MVC View.
1) by using double @@ in this case you can write your code as follows:


<script type="application/ld+json">
    {
    "@@context" : "http://mywebsite.com",
    "@@type" : "WebSite"
    }
</script>

2)by using @Html.Raw method in this case you can write your code as follows:


<script type="application/ld+json">
    {
    "@Html.Raw("@context")" : "http://mywebsite.com",
    "@Html.Raw("@type")" : "WebSite"
   }
</script>

3)By using @() to simply write string inside the brackets ,in this case your code will become as:


<script type="application/ld+json">
    {
    "@("@context")" : "http://mywebsite.com",
    "@("@type")" : "WebSite"
    }
</script>

All the above three will do the trick for you.
