It depends on the technology you used to create your website. You can use a library that might exists for this technology but even a simple string concatenation like this

var myJson = "{\"name\" : \"" + user.Username + "\"}";

would work.

If it is a wordpress website, you can simply download and activate this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-api/.
