jquery-form
Post json within request body
This is a feature request, and I think it's raised in #531 but misunderstanded
Description:
Now only form data format is supported in this plugin, I'd like to post json data in post body (like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5570747/jquery-posting-json)
In jquery it can be done with code below:
$.ajax(url, {
data : JSON.stringify(myJSObject),
contentType : 'application/json',
type : 'POST',
...
Expected Behavior:
With option:
contentType : 'application/json',
Request body like this :
{"name":"apple","count":"1"}
Actual behavior:
Unsupported, now only encoded form data can be in post body Request body like this:
name=apple&count=1
Why
It's quite common in now days for communicating with server in protocol of json instead of form data, so this feature is needed.
Workaound
Use https://github.com/marioizquierdo/jquery.serializeJSON to generate json and post with jquery, like:
var myData=$('form').serializeJSON();
$.ajax(url, {
data : JSON.stringify(myData),
contentType : 'application/json',
type : 'POST'
});
I see. That makes a lot of sense.
I have added the "help wanted" label to this issue. Would you please submit a pull request to add this feature? I am very open and responsive to pull requests.
