tridejur JSON.stringify is a method specific to JavaScript. This thread is about proper client-side handling of this API call in JavaScript, so this code is only relevant to JavaScript. Plese refer to the documentation for whatever language you're using for information on how to parse/write JSON.

There wasn't an issue with the server-side JSON decoding discovered in this thread. If you believe you've encountered an issue with the the server-side JSON decoding, please report the details in a new thread.
