Posting JSON with JQuery

Question

Trying to get JQuery to post JSON to a server:

$.ajax({  
  url: \"/path/to/url\",  
  type: \"POST\",  
  dataType: \"json\",  
  contentType: \"json\",  
          


        

Answer 1

Datatype is for returned data. Contenttype is not applicable, see here

It can only send strings, I use JSON.stringify on my created javascript objects, in your case you could just manually code the string.

You will also need to access the string on server side, for that if you are using java I can recommened google's gson
