how to post arbitrary json object to webapi

Question

How do I / is it possible to pass in a json object to a webapi controller (POST) and not have a class to map it to, but rather handle it as arbitrary content?

Answer 1

We passed json object by jquery, and parse it in dynamic object. it works fine. this is sample code:

ajaxPost:

...
Content-Type: application/json,
data: {
          "name": "Jack", 
          "age": "12"
      }
...

webapi:

[HttpPost]
public string DoJson2(dynamic data)
{
    string name = data.name;
    int age = data.age;

    return name;
}
