Bug in Razor Page Model

[Eilon]

public  JsonResult GetResult(){
    return Json();
}

Will give error the name 'Json' does not exist in current context in razor page modal while working fine when page is drives from controller
I can't use razor page model due to this serious issue and need to move to MVC approach instead of page modal. Please Resolve this Bug.

Copied from original issue: dotnet/aspnetcore#3003

I believe this is by-design because the Json helper is meant for APIs, not pages.

There are some historical notes in #5846 under the "Methods Pages Don't Need" section.

You could always new up an instance of JsonResult:

public  IActionResult OnPost(){
    return new JsonResult(...);
}

Thank you for your feedback.
We're closing this issue as the behavior discussed seems to be by design.
