As I discussed here ,
if you want to pass custom JSON object to MVC action then you can use this solution, it works like a charm.
public string GetData() {
// InputStream contains the JSON object you've sent
String jsonString = new StreamReader(this.Request.InputStream).ReadToEnd();
// Deserialize it to a dictionary
var dic =
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject < Dictionary < String,
dynamic >> (jsonString);
string result = "";
result += dic["firstname"] + dic["lastname"];
// You can even cast your object to their original type because of 'dynamic' keyword
result += ", Age: " + (int) dic["age"];
if ((bool) dic["married"])
result += ", Married";
return result;
}
The real benefit of this solution is that you don't require to define a new class for each combination of arguments and beside that, you can cast your objects to their original types easily.
You can use a helper method like this to facilitate your job:
public static Dictionary < string, dynamic > GetDic(HttpRequestBase request) {
String jsonString = new StreamReader(request.InputStream).ReadToEnd();
return Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject < Dictionary < string, dynamic >> (jsonString);
}
