Finally  I got the mistake and the reason was I need to stringify the JSON data I was sending  I have to set the content type and datatype in XHR object  So the correct version is here     ajax     type   POST     url   http   localhost 8080 project server rest subjects     data  JSON stringify        subject title   Test Name        subject description   Creating test subject to check POST method API        sub tags     facebook work    facebook likes         sampleSize    10       values     science    machine-learning           error  function e        console log e          dataType   json     contentType   application json        May be it will help someone else

You need to build query from  data  object using the following function  function buildQuery obj            var Result              if typeof obj     object                 jQuery each obj  function key  value                    Result    Result      amp                         if typeof value     object   amp  amp  value length                        for var i 0  i lt value length  i                              Result    key       encodeURIComponent value i    join                                               else                       Result    key  encodeURIComponent value   join                                                           return Result          and then proceed with  var data     subject title   Test Name    subject description   Creating test subject to check POST method API    sub tags     facebook work  facebook likes     sampleSize    10   values     science    machine-learning        ajax     type   POST     url   http   localhost 8080 project server rest subjects     data  buildQuery data     error  function e        console log e

The question is a bit old    but just in case somebody faces the error 400  it may also come from the need to post csrfToken as a parameter to the post request   You have to get name and value from craft in your template     lt script type  text javascript  gt      window csrfTokenName       craft config csrfTokenName e  js            window csrfTokenValue       craft request csrfToken e  js         lt  script gt    and pass them in your request  data  window csrfTokenName     window csrfTokenValue

In case anyone else runs into this  I have a web site that was working fine on the desktop browser but I was getting 400 errors with Android devices   It turned out to be the anti forgery token     ajax           url    Cart AddProduct            data                  RequestVerificationToken      name    RequestVerificationToken     val                productId    this  data  productcode                The problem was that the  Net controller wasn t set up correctly   I needed to add the attributes to the controller        AllowAnonymous       IgnoreAntiforgeryToken       DisableCors       HttpPost      public async Task lt JsonResult gt  AddProduct int productId          The code needs review but for now at least I know what was causing it  400 error not helpful at all

Yes  You need to stringify the JSON data orlse 400 bad request error occurs as it cannot identify the data    400 Bad Request      Bad Request  Your browser sent a request that this server could not   understand    Plus you need to add content type and datatype as well  If not you will encounter 415 error which says Unsupported Media Type      415 Unsupported Media Type   Try this    var newData                          subject title   Test Name                      subject description   Creating test subject to check POST method API                      sub tags     facebook work    facebook likes                       sampleSize    10                     values     science    machine-learning                         var dataJson   JSON stringify newData      ajax     type   POST     url   http   localhost 8080 project server rest subjects     data  dataJson    error  function e        console log e          dataType   json     contentType   application json        With this way you can modify the data you need with ease  It wont confuse you as it is defined outside the ajax block
