I have to take json list as parameter for web api.

http://localhost:8082/api/Values/EmptyCardList?number=[
{
 num: "1"
},

 num: "2"
},

Answer 1

If you are making your httpPost request and passing json object in your request body

Set

contentType:"application/json"

and in data use JSON.stringify(yourJson);

Something like this:

 $(function () {
 var youJsondata = {num :"2",num:"3"};
 $.ajax({
 type: "POST",
 data :JSON.stringify(youJsondata),
 url: "http://localhost:8082/api/Values/emptycardlist",
 contentType: "application/json"
 });
});

You api method should look something like this:

[HttpPost]
Route("api/Values/emptycardlist")
public HttpResponseMessage EmptyCardList([FromBody] JObject jobject){
 dynamic numList = jobject;
}
