ASP.NET MVC 2 How to pass JSON to ASP.NET Controller Action

Question

Wondering if there is a better way to do this with ASP.NET MVC2. The following Posts on SO are little dated:

Basically what I am doing right now is using the JavaScriptSerializer and deserializing in action/actionfilter.

Phil Haack's post is still up to date for MVC 2 - you need to register a JsonValueProviderFactory to deserialize an object from the posted JSON.

This is baked into MVC 3 already, so I would suggest downloading the MVC 3 preview and taking the JsonValueProviderFactory from the assembly

I can't use MVC 3 preview for a production App. Also using MVC futures is not an option :(

I'm not suggesting using MVC3 in your app, just the JsonValueProviderFactory class from the assembly. or you could write your own instead :)
