How can I successfully receive JSON data on my WebAPI backend in C#?
I am facing an issue with the JSON data sent from my JavaScript frontend.
{
"User_Id": 1,
"TotalPrice": 35,
"DeliveryAddress": "At my house",
"CartItems": [
{
"Id": 1009,
"Name": "Superman juni 2014",
"Quantity": 1,
"Price": 35
}
]
}
Here are the classes I have defined for handling this data:
public class PurchaseOrder
{
public List<CartItem> CartItems { get; set; }
public string DeliveryAddress { get; set; }
public int TotalPrice { get; set; }
public int User_Id { get; set; }
}
public class CartItem
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Quantity { get; set; }
public int Price { get; set; }
}
However, when attempting to process the JSON data using my WebAPI method, I encounter a problem:
[System.Web.Mvc.HttpPost]
public bool AddOrder(PurchaseOrder order)
{
// Here I will do something
return true;
}
Despite my efforts, I continue to receive a "null" value for my "PurchaseOrder order" object. Could it be due to using [System.Web.Mvc.HttpPost]? I have also experimented with [System.Web.Http.HttpPost], yet encountered the same issue. // Martin
