[Solved] How do you put a User Name/Password in JSON format? [closed]

by


You could try using the $.ajax method:

$.ajax({
    url: '/some_server_side_script',
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    data: JSON.stringify({
        username: $('#username').val(),
        password: $('#password').val(),
    }),
    success: function(result) {
        alert('success');
    }
});

In this example I have explicitly specified the Content-Type HTTP request header to application/json so that the server knows the exact content type being sent. I have also used the native JSON.stringify javascript function to convert the javascript object to a JSON string that will be sent to the server.

So assuming that you had #username and #password input fields in your DOM the following request payload will be sent to the server:

POST /some_server_side_script HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 39
Connection: close

{"username":"john","password":"secret"}
