To send json to the server, you first have to create json

function sendData() {
    $.ajax({
        url: '/helloworld',
        type: 'POST',
        contentType: 'application/json',
        data: JSON.stringify({
            name:"Bob",
            ...
        }),
        dataType: 'json'
    });
}

This is how you would structure the ajax request to send the json as a post var.

function sendData() {
    $.ajax({
        url: '/helloworld',
        type: 'POST',
        data: { json: JSON.stringify({
            name:"Bob",
            ...
        })},
        dataType: 'json'
    });
}

The json will now be in the json post var.
