asp.net mvc - Using Razor, how do I render a Boolean to a JavaScript variable?

Question

How do I render a Boolean to a JavaScript variable in a cshtml file?

Presently this shows a syntax error:

<script type="text/javascript" >

    var myViewModel = {
        isFollowing: @Model.IsFollowing  // This is a C# bool
    };
</script>

You may also want to try:

isFollowing: '@(Model.IsFollowing)' === '@true'

and an ever better way is to use:

isFollowing: @Json.Encode(Model.IsFollowing)
