JSON.stringify is not serialiizing the object

Question

i am trying to do ajax call by passing serialized json object and assigning it to data property of the ajax call. but some thing is not proper at assigning serialized object to data property control goes to jquery-2.0.3.min.js file

<script type="text/javascript">
    function AddEmployee() 
    {


        var Product = new Object();
        Product.Name = "kRISH";
        Product.Price = "23";
        Product.Category = "AS";

        $.ajax
        ({
            url: 'http://localhost:62310/api/products',
            type: 'POST',
            data: JSON.stringify(Product),
            contentType: "application/json;charset=utf-8",
            success: function (data){ WriteResponse(data);},
            error: function (x, y, z){ alert(x + '\n' + y + '\n' + z);}
        });
    }
</script>

There is something wrong with your syntax. JSON.stringify(Product : Product). It should be something like JSON.stringify(products) where products is a JSON object. — A Paul

Either you want to serialize an object with a property Product, then you need

data: JSON.stringify( {Product : Product} )

or you just want to serialize your Product, then you need

data: JSON.stringify(Product)

btw your object initialization could be rewritten as:

var Product = {
  Name : "kRISH",
  Price : "23",
  Category : "AS"
};

@SunilJadhav There should be plenty on the net and you should be able to find them using google. I would recommend to start with the respective jQuery Docu or in general MDN.

Product : Product is not an object.

You should replace it with an actual object :

$.ajax
    ({
        url: 'http://localhost:62310/api/products',
        type: 'POST',
        data: JSON.stringify({Product : Product}),
        contentType: "application/json;charset=utf-8",
        success: function (data){ WriteResponse(data);},
        error: function (x, y, z){ alert(x + '\n' + y + '\n' + z);}
    });

Just do

var json_text = JSON.stringify(Product, null, 2);

 $.ajax
        ({
            url: 'http://localhost:62310/api/products',
            type: 'POST',
            data: json_text ,
            contentType: "application/json;charset=utf-8",
            success: function (data){ WriteResponse(data);},
            error: function (x, y, z){ alert(x + '\n' + y + '\n' + z);}
        });

Why use pretty printing, when only transmitting to a server?

@SunilJadhav : developer.mozilla.org is your friend For JSON , it is developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/JSON For Jquery , JQuery documentation is good

Sunil Jadhav Over a year ago

Now json string is serialized but when control comes to $.ajax goes to java script file and some internal lines are executed.
