Jquery Ajax Posting json to webservice

Question

I am trying to post a JSON object to a asp.net webservice.

My json looks like this:

var markers = { \"markers\": [
  { \"position\": \"128.3657142857         


        

Answer 1

I tried Dave Ward's solution. The data part was not being sent from the browser in the payload part of the post request as the contentType is set to "application/json". Once I removed this line everything worked great.

var markers = [{ "position": "128.3657142857143", "markerPosition": "7" },

               { "position": "235.1944023323615", "markerPosition": "19" },

               { "position": "42.5978231292517", "markerPosition": "-3" }];

$.ajax({

    type: "POST",
    url: "/webservices/PodcastService.asmx/CreateMarkers",
    // The key needs to match your method's input parameter (case-sensitive).
    data: JSON.stringify({ Markers: markers }),
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(data){alert(data);},
    failure: function(errMsg) {
        alert(errMsg);
    }
});
