Where is the PostAsJsonAsync method in ASP.NET Core?

Question

I was looking for the PostAsJsonAsync() extension method in ASP.NET Core. Based on this article, it\'s available in the Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client

Answer 1

That is not part of the ASP.NET Core project. However you can proceed with:

HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "http://myurl/api");

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObj);

request.Content = new StringContent(json, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

HttpClient http = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await http.SendAsync(request);

if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {                
    }
else
    {
    }
