title: ApiController to return JSON string as-is
body: <p>I have a function in <code>ApiController</code>, which is supposed to output an object of some kind. That function receives that object in already serialized format. In order for the function to end up returing valid JSON, I need to turn it into <code>JObject</code>, like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    [HttpGet]
      public object MyFunction()
      {
          string result = .......;
          return JObject.Parse(result);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Question is: the result is <em>already</em> a valid JSON, and I want to return it as-is, without any more processing. If my class was a regular <code>Controller</code>, I could have just returned a <code>ContentResult</code>, but for some reasons, I cannot turn <code>ApiController</code> into regular <code>Controller</code> in this case.</p>
  
  <p>Any other options?</p>
