Is it feasible to pass List from MVC controller to View though JSON without creating class?

Question

I am using Angular JS to create JSON from MVC Controller to View. I passed it previously like this Model

public class obj
{
    public string somestring {get;set;}
}

MVC controller

List<obj> lstObj=new List<obj>();
obj o = new obj();
o.somestring="somestring";
lstObj.Add(o);
IDictionary<string,object> dic=new Dictionary<string,object>();
dic.Add("data",lstObj);
return Json(dic);

in the view I get the Json as

{["somestring":"somestring"]}

But when I try the same code with ExpandoObject from this answer to Dynamically Add C# Properties at Runtime

List<dynamic> lstObj = new List<dynamic>();
var dynO = DataHelper.GetDynamicObject(new Dictionary<string, object>()
                    {
                        {"somestring","somestring"}
                    });
lstObj.Add(dynO);
IDictionary<string,object> dic=new Dictionary<string,object>();
dic.Add("data",lstObj);
return Json(dic);

it returns

{[]}

Is it feasible to obtain Json using ExpandoObject? Thanks in advance

Thanks for spending your valuable time mates I have overcome it by creating an object using new {}

List<dynamic> lstObj = new List<dynamic>();
var dynO =new
                    {somestring="somestring"}
                ;
lstObj.Add(dynO);
IDictionary<string,object> dic=new Dictionary<string,object>();
dic.Add("data",lstObj);
return Json(dic);

output is

{["somestring":"somestring"]}
