I have created a REST web service that should get a JSON string and convert it to an object in C#. I have created my classes and used the deserialization:

RootObject test = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>("id");

So far so good, I need to call my function : 

public string JSONData(string id)

Is there a way to insert my JSON in the URL so I can trigger my function, or am I missing something fundamental? 

http://localhost/RestSrv/Json/....

What should I put in the ... that will give value to my id string and call my JSONData function that will deserialize the JSON after? Should I use an online JSON convert to URL tool?

I can think of two ways to do this

  1. Send JSON via HTTP POST with Content-Type: application/json header

  2. Send HTTP Query String with the required data. For example

    ?object[type]=person&children_names[]=Mia&children_names[]=Anna

Would convert to JSON (https://www.convertonline.io/convert/query-string-to-json)

{"object":{"type":"person"},"children_names":["Mia","Anna"]}

Option 1 is better since URL string can be long and have a length limitation.
