Get string[] in razor view javascript from mvc controller

Question

I'm working with Chart.js. I require -

labels : ["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul"],

In my controller code I'm doing this-

   string[] Labels = new string[tbl.Rows.Count];
   for (int i = tbl.Rows.Count-1; i >0 ; i--)
   {
       Labels[i] = Convert.ToDateTime(tbl.Rows[i][0]).ToString("MMM") ;
   }

   Labels[0]= Convert.ToDateTime(tbl.Rows[0][0]).ToString("MMM") ;
   ViewBag.ChartLabel = Labels;

Everything is good till this point.

Problem arises when I want to use that value in razor page.

<script>
   labels : [], //How can i use ViewBag.ChartLabel here?
</script>

The most easy way to do this is to insert the values in array.

<script>
var labels = [];
@foreach(var label in ViewBag.ChartLabel)
{
    <text>
        labels.push('@label');
    </text>
}
</script>

You can find here more ways to convert, the one that I think it's the best

var labels = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewBag.ChartLabel));
