How do I / is it possible to pass in a json object to a webapi controller (POST) and not have a class to map it to, but rather handle it as arbitrary content? So if I pass in from my client like so: createRecord: function (model, data, callback, callbackParams) { var request = jQuery.ajax({ type: "POST", // default = GET, url: '/api/' + model + '/', data: data, contentType: 'application/json', success: function (msg) { $('#results').text(msg); if (callback) // only fire a callback if it has been specified callback(msg, callbackParams); }, error: function (jqXHR, textStatus) { alert('Request failed: ' + textStatus); } }); } and data is something like: { "_id" : ObjectId("5069f825cd4c1d590cddf206"), "firstName" : "John", "lastName" : "Smith", "city" : "Vancouver", "country" : "Canada" } My controller will be able to parse it? And next time the data may not match that signature (eg: { "_id" : ObjectId("5069f825cd4c1d56677xz6"), "company" : "Acme" } In my controller, I have tried: public HttpResponseMessage Post([FromBody]JObject value) and: public HttpResponseMessage Post([FromBody]string value) and (because this is actually to work with a mongo db): public HttpResponseMessage Post([FromBody]BsonDocument value) but it looks like the object mapper wants to map to something other than string...
