Alamofire: How to send json object

[srinadh588]

Hi, I want to send my JSON string directly to Server body. But here now im coverting my json string to dictionary and that dictiaonry passing to parameters.

So is there any alternative to send plain json object.

Had the same thing today and I searched backwards in closed tickets and found this.
https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire/issues/1103

Passing in JSON works in his initial comment if you also add the following to it
mutableRequest.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")

Hi @srinadh588,

There's an example of posting JSON to a server in our README which can be found here.

let parameters = [
    "foo": [1,2,3],
    "bar": [
        "baz": "qux"
    ]
]

Alamofire.request(.POST, "https://httpbin.org/post", parameters: parameters, encoding: .JSON)
// HTTP body: {"foo": [1, 2, 3], "bar": {"baz": "qux"}}

In the future, I'd recommend opening a question on Stack Overflow for questions like this. We use our GitHub project for bug reports and feature requests.

Best of luck! 🍻

Sure, i will request in stack overflow. but in Swift we care objctes file look like follwoing.

Class Obj : NSObject {
var name : String?
var emial : String?

}

So, how can we send like this object to server. i tried to convery above object to jsonstirng and then i need to convery jsonstring to dictionary like above you mentions. but too many steps to do.
