JSON.stringify() alternative and JSON2.js

I am trying to make a WCF call to a function which accepts one String parameter. When I pass parameters from jQuery, I am using JSON.stringify(parameters), where parameters is a name:value collection containing the parameters I want to pass.

My doubts are

  1. In my version of IE, JSON is not defined. So, I used the JSON2.js library and included that in the master page of my site.
  2. I still encounter the same message. JSON is undefined on IE.

Well, it works perfectly on Google Chrome.

PS - This is all on .NET.

Script name is json2.js. The values I am passing in jQuery are

data:JSON2.stringify(parameters),
contentType: "application/json2; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json2"

I am using IE8. (Sorry to not provide this detail before, just added)

Please advise.

Solution

  • You are using json2 at all places where you should ideally be using json

    Please change your ajax call as

    data:JSON.stringify(parameters),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json"

    On an unrelated side-note, you can omit charset and dataType and change the call like this

    data:JSON.stringify(parameters),
contentType: "application/json;",
