Using RazorViewEngine for generating dynamic JSON

[vishalputta]

I have a web api which serves dynamic JSON configs.
We have a lot of json configs/templates and some parts of it can change dynamically which I want to handle using c# code.
I am considering using RazorViewEngine as a templating engine for this purpose.

The existing service is asp.net web service and I want to use asp.net mvc's razor pages and engine.

1. Since the asp.net mvc's razor pages are mostly focused on generating HTML, I'm curious about the potential drawbacks of using this for generating json.
2. How can we have syntax highlighting in .razor pages for json + c#.
