jQuery Forum

i cant believe that this was maked as less common!

 

I always use webservices to return my json strings, so thats like 90% of my calls. How on earth do you use getJson to call a webservice passing a property. I never can use getJson, always the full .ajax call.

 

postJSON would be very handy indeed, one i would use more than any other call.

Twitter, Facebook Graph, and Google Maps are all GET requests, with the exception of a few edge cases.  Which web services are you referring to?

I mean .Net webservices with Webmethods.. i create .Net webservices that have webmethods so i can easily return entityframework entities as json strings.

 

all i  do is make a .Net WebMethod, something like

 

      Return (From c In db.customers Where c.Type = type)

 

Thats it.. that will return all cusomers of a "type" automagically as a json string, which i call from jquery like

 

                loop through customers here

 

Unless i am missing something, there is no way to call this with a get unless they except no params, as the params need to be posted?

 

dont get me wrong, using the ajax method is awsome and is not much effort to put in the extra options. But i cant believe im the only person who does this, and as i said before 90% of my calls are like this except when i use the load() method. so i can see where the first poster was coming from. A postJSON would be handy.
