Use JSON post with AJAX

[pabloaotero]

Hi,
I really like this project. I'd like to contribute in some way!

Is it possible to use AJAX (jquery or xmlthhpRequest) for JSON post? I couldn't make it work. Do yo have some example?

Which is the best way to use JSON examples through browser?

thanks a lot
Regards
Pablo

Thank you, but I would suggest you read up on HTTP a bit. There should be no problems sending POST with json to this server, although you have to direct it to a defined resource (see http_examples.cpp).

Thanks for your response.
Yes, I'm trying with that example but I can not make it work with ajax. I always get an error.
I'm probably doing something wrong and I'll review it again.

Regards,

Ok, it works.

var DTO = { "firstName":"John", "lastName":"Smith", "age":"25" };

var datain = JSON.stringify(DTO);

$.ajax({
async: true,
type: "POST",
url: "http://localhost:8080/json",
data: datain,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
timeout: 3000,
processdata: true,
success: post_function_Ok,
error: post_function_Nok
});

The problem was I had added "dataType: 'json'" as expected data format from server.

Thanks.
