JSON vs Form POST

Question

We\'re having a bit of a discussion on the subject of posting data to a REST endpoint. Since the objects are quite complex, the easiest solution is to simply serialize them

Answer 1

I'd say that both methods will work well it's important that you stay consistent across your APIs. The option I would personally choose is simply sending the content as application/json.

POST doesn't force you to use application/x-www-form-urlencoded - it's simply something that's used a lot because it's what webbrowsers use.
