Send link_to in JSON

In my View I have a list of items in database. By the side of each item in there is "delete" link. There is also an AJAX form which allows to create new items. New items are appended to list by JS.

When submit button is pressed, controller should send back JSON. The problem is - how to send that "delete" link as a JSON? Since link's html has some double quotes in it, I dont get valid JSON and my JS crashes.

destroy_link = view_context.link_to('Delete', created, method: :delete, remote: true, :class => 'minus' )

json = {'plural' => created.class.name.pluralize.underscore.downcase,   'singular' => created.class.name.underscore.downcase,   'created' => created        }.to_json

Since I dont know a lot about ajax, propably something is terribly wrong here?
