Answer 1

Try

data: JSON.stringify([{id: "10000", name: "bill"},{id: "10005", name: "paul"}])

edit I removed the quotes from the property names

Also, the JSON string needs to be read in other way

string jsonString = String.Empty;

HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream.Position = 0;
using (StreamReader inputStream = new StreamReader(HttpContext.Current.Request.InputStream))
{
     jsonString = inputStream.ReadToEnd();
}

An working solution

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
    var jsonSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
    var jsonString = String.Empty;

    context.Request.InputStream.Position = 0;
    using (var inputStream = new StreamReader(context.Request.InputStream))
    {
        jsonString = inputStream.ReadToEnd();
    }

    var emplList = jsonSerializer.Deserialize<List<Employee>>(jsonString);
    var resp = String.Empty;

    foreach (var emp in emplList)
    {
        resp += emp.name + " \\ ";
    }

    context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";
    context.Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
    context.Response.Write(jsonSerializer.Serialize(resp));
}

public class Employee
{
    public string id { get; set; }
    public string name { get; set; }
}

public bool IsReusable
{
    get
    {
        return false;
    }
}
