C# Enum Values as Json ASP.NET Web API Response

I am working on a web app that is using AngularJS on the client side and in one of the forms I needed the user to be able to select time zones but I didn’t want to hard code it into the javascript, as well as it is getting stored on the back-end as my C# enum type USTimeZones:


  public enum USTimeZones


    {


        AlaskanDaylightTime,


        AlaskanStandardTime,


        CentralDaylightTime,


        CentralStandardTime,


        EasternDaylightTime,


        EasternStandardTime,


        HawaiianStandardTime,


        MountainDaylightTime,


        MountainStandardTime,


        MountainTime,


        PacificDaylightTime,


        PacificStandardTime,


        USEasternStandardTime,


        USMountainStanardTime


    };









[HttpGet]


public IHttpActionResult GetTimeZonesJson()


{


    var enumVals = new List<object>();


 


    foreach (var item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(USTimeZones)))


    {


        


        enumVals.Add(new


        {


            id = (int)item,


            name = item.ToString()


        });


    }


 


    return Ok(enumVals);


}
