jQuery - How to PUT JSON via Ajax?

Question

I am trying to put some JSON formatted data via Ajax with jQuery to a server. My code looks like this:

$.ajax({
    type: \"PUT\",
    url: myURL,
    conten

If you always have to send JSON in your application, then you can just execute this somewhere in your init and then use default $.ajax call as in your example, and it will always serialize as a JSON string instead of the Ajax default query string.

Here I use the JSON object mentioned above:

$.ajaxSetup({
    contentType : 'application/json',
    processData : false
});
$.ajaxPrefilter( function( options, originalOptions, jqXHR ) {
    if (options.data){
        options.data=JSON.stringify(options.data);
    }
});
