How to separate an array of strings from a JSON file with commas

Question

I want to display the content of a Json file in a view in a project using ASP.NET MVC, but when i get the data and display it in a table in a view it looks like:

"data1data2data3data4"

How i can separate that JSON array of string with commas like:

"data1 , data2 , data3 , data4"

The JSON file has the next structure:

[  
   {  
      "Name":"Value",
      "Name2":[  
         "Data1",
         "Data2",
         "Data3",
         "Data4",

      ]
   }
]

And i display the data in a table like:

<table border="1">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th>Name</th>
                    <th>Name2</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
                @foreach (var element in Model)
                {
                    <tr>
                        <td>@Html.DisplayFor(m => element.Name)</td>
                        <td>@Html.DisplayFor(m => element.Name2)</td>
                    </tr>
                }
            </tbody>
</table>

But it looks like:

Name  | Name2
-----------------------------
Value | Data1Data2Data3Data4

and i want to display the data like:

Name  | Name2
-----------------------------
Value | Data1 , Data2 , Data3 , Data4

Any way to do this?

Edit:

I have this method to get the Json data:

string fileJson = File.ReadAllText(@"Path.json");
var dataJson = 
JsonConverter.DeserializeObject<List<Object>>(fileJson);
return dataJson;

And then called it from a controller

Replace your second td with:

<td>@Html.Raw(string.Join(" , ", element.Name2))</td>

you can do m => string.Join(" , ", element.Name2) to get the format you want.
