jquery - Posting data to .NET WebAPI from objective-C/cocoa -

i have pretty basic webapi controller:

[httpget] public iqueryable<user> getusers() {     return _users.asqueryable(); }  [httppost] public user adduser(user toadd) {     _userrepository.adduser(toadd); } 

and user object simple:

public class user {     public string name { get; set; }     public string email { get; set; } } 

(obviously of boring parts left out!)

posting service works fine through c# call, jquery call, etc.

with javascript/jquery i'd :

var user = {     "name" : "persons name",     "email" : "email@email.com" }  var processed = json.stringify(user);  $.ajax({     url: url,     data: processed,     success: ....     ... }); 

i'm trying post objective-c. works fine, know can connect etc.

i've tried kinds of things try , post object via json, i'm having no luck. can point me in right direction?

thanks!

you have create nsdictionary datas:

nsdictionary *postdict = [[nsdictionary alloc] initwithobjectsandkeys:                           @"person name", @"name",                           @"email@email.com", @"email",                           nil]; 

then, convert nsdata , create request

nserror *error = nil; nsdata* jsondata = [nsjsonserialization datawithjsonobject:postdict options:kniloptions error:&error]; nsurlresponse *response; nsdata *localdata = nil;  nsmutableurlrequest *request = [nsmutableurlrequest requestwithurl:[nsurl urlwithstring:yoururl]]; [request sethttpmethod:@"post"]; 

and finally, send request server:

if (error == nil) {     [request setvalue:@"application/json" forhttpheaderfield:@"content-type"];     [request setvalue:@"application/json" forhttpheaderfield:@"accept"];     [request sethttpbody:jsondata];      // send request , response     localdata = [nsurlconnection sendsynchronousrequest:request returningresponse:&response error:&error];      nsstring *result = [[nsstring alloc] initwithdata:localdata encoding:nsasciistringencoding];     nslog(@"post result : %@", result); }
