How to use @ in ASp.net MVC views for another purposes not coding with backend

Question

I want to add the social media links to my html. My project is implemented using ASP.net MVC. When I add the below code it gives an error in this line: "@context" : "http://schema.org",

 <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "Example", "url" : "https://www.example.com", "sameAs" : [ "https://twitter.com/example", ] } </script>

I added this line of code to the <head> tag in _Layout.cshtml. I checked and this code's working fine on a pure html project.

What are you expecting that code to do? As it currently stands, the braces { ... } are just creating a code block, not an object. The lines within them make no sense as it currently stands. Are you trying to create an object? If so, try var objName = { ... }; You can then useobjName for whatever your code will do next. — Tim, CommentedJul 1, 2020 at 11:50
Thank you Tim . No it is not an object , I followed this link help.woorank.com/hc/en-us/articles/… and it said that I should use these codes for attaching my social media to my webpages . @Tim — neda Derakhshesh, CommentedJul 1, 2020 at 12:22
@Tim The problem is for sure using @ before context. But I do not know what edit should I do for this — neda Derakhshesh, CommentedJul 1, 2020 at 12:27
That page looks specific to people using woorank - are you using it? If so, it would be a good idea to edit your question to add more detail about what you're trying to do, as the question currently makes no reference to woorank. I don't know anything about woorank, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help. If you're not using woorank then I don't think that page will help you at all. — Tim, CommentedJul 1, 2020 at 13:38
It is not relating to woorank or their users, I just followed the guide to help search engine understand my social media links . Is there any way I can attach my social media links to the views.cshtml? — neda Derakhshesh, CommentedJul 1, 2020 at 14:08

To include that script within the HTML which is served to the client, you need to escape the @ symbol with @@.

<script type="application/ld+json"> { "@@context" : "http://schema.org", "@@type" : "Organization", "name" : "Example", "url" : "https://www.example.com", "sameAs" : [ "https://twitter.com/example" ] } </script>

This is because razor uses @ to indicate that some C# code is about to follow (e.g. if you have a C# variable called foo, you would use it within the razor as @foo). With your original code, razor interprets it as using a variable called context and another called type, but it throws an error because it can't find those variables. Using @@ tells razor that you want the string @context rather than the variable context.

Thank you very much, and also this link has another solution that really helps thomas.vanhoutte.be/miniblog/schema-org-social-media-websites — neda Derakhshesh, CommentedJul 1, 2020 at 14:35
