  MVC3, jQuery and JSON.stringify

  Feb 06, 2012 05:45 PM|LINK

  I ran into an issue with JSON.stringify() when trying to use $.getJSON().  Examine this stack overflow discussion, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9162359/mvc3-controller-null-parameter-using-json-stringify/9164417#9164417

  Breakdown,

  When using $.getJSON() or any $.ajax call with a GET request and using JSON.stringify(), the parameters are null.  This works fine with a HTTP POST, but not with a GET.  Notice where

  $.getJSON('/', JSON.stringify({id:"test"}));

  will result in GET http://localhost?{%22id%22:%22test%22} HTTP/1.1

  while

  $.getJSON('/', {id:"test"});

  results in GET http://localhost/?id=test HTTP/1.1

  Note that the following DOES work.

  $.getJSON('/', { "id": "test" });

  To drive the topic home, this DOES NOT work.

  $.getJSON('/', '{ "id": "test" }');

  I have resorted to using POST to make ajax json calls.  If this is not the proper place to submit bugs or discussion, my apologies.
