If Eric is returning a plain string, then there is no need to SerializeJson() the result, as all he needs is the string. That is why Eric is getting the additional slashes in his closing tag, because the SerializeJson() method is automatically escaping the slash characters.
I'll agree with Michael though. If you did get a Json return, and just parsed it to add the <li> tags in your doc you'll reduce your (unnecessary) server-side overhead. Returning the string is easier, but not necessarily best for you application or your code reusability.
