POST a JSON data on a Server URL using Javascript

Question

I have prepared a JSON data and I need to post it on the server so that a service can be called. URL to the server is available and I am making an AJAX call for the same to POST the data.

But I dont know where to place the JSON string that is generated.

My Code is as Follows:

function postJSONData(JSONData, localMode)
        {
            var localJSONData = JSONData;
            var postMode = localMode;

             $.ajax({
                    type: 'POST',
                    url: 'https://tt.s2.com/tmobile/subscribe-service/uid=ankit_bharat_tanna',
                    dataType: 'xml',
                    success: function(data){
                        alert("SECOND POST JSON DATA");
                    }   // Success Function
    }); // AJAX Call

            alert("POST JSON ------------> "+localJSONData +" "+postMode);
        }

I want to post JSON data to the server URL. any Parameters to be used?

Thanks, Ankit.

data : { "requestParamName" : localJSONData } where "requestParamName" is whatever parameter name you are using in your server-side code to receive the JSON. — nnnnnn

Please visit the jQuery .ajax() doc and scroll down to read about the data setting. — PhearOfRayne

You should pass the values with data parameter $.ajax() jquery doc link

function postJSONData(JSONData, localMode)
    {
        var localJSONData = JSONData;
        var postMode = localMode;

         $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                url: 'https://tt.s2.com/tmobile/subscribe-service/uid=ankit_bharat_tanna',
                contentType:"application/json; charset=utf-8",
                dataType:"json"
                data:  JSONData
                success: function(data){
                    alert("SECOND POST JSON DATA");
                }   // Success Function
}); // AJAX Call

        alert("POST JSON ------------> "+localJSONData +" "+postMode);
    }

I wrote datatype: 'xml' by mistake. Should it be application/json?

OQJF Over a year ago

You don't need to specify the datatype, the default is ok for you.

Ankit Tanna Over a year ago

I got it Don. would it be only "json" or "application/json"

use dataType as json alone

You are missing the data parameter. Moreover you need to send json data so dataType parameter should be set to json. Below is an Example

function postJSONData(JSONData, localMode)
        {
            var localJSONData = JSONData;
            var postMode = localMode;

             $.ajax({
                    data: localJSONData,
                    type: 'POST',
                    url: 'https://tt.s2.com/tmobile/subscribe-service/uid=ankit_bharat_tanna',
                    dataType: 'json',
                    success: function(data){
                        alert("SECOND POST JSON DATA");
                    }   // Success Function
    }); // AJAX Call

            alert("POST JSON ------------> "+localJSONData +" "+postMode);
        }
