You are sending a JavaScript object, not JSON. Try saving your object in a variable like this: `var obj = {"type":"Company","name":"harshit","cin":"2014UPTC20"}` then send the data like this `data: JSON.stringify(obj),` – VTodorov Jun 15 '18 at 12:15
so how to send json??? – Harshit_Rana Jun 15 '18 at 12:17
ammended your changes but still not able to get it – Harshit_Rana Jun 15 '18 at 12:23
got it need to add this config in $.ajax contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8', – Harshit_Rana Jun 15 '18 at 13:23
