Posting JSON via jQuery to Rails

Question

I have an amazingly difficult time when json posts a message from javascript to a rail-supported web service.

Here is the jquery code;

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> var jsonPost = { "email":" [e-mail] ", "token":"63uO6eEfLVBFpnZswzI", "content": "testcontent", "notification_type": "2", "name":"testname", } function callback(data){alert(data)}; jQuery.ajax({ type: "POST", url: 'http://localhost:3000/api/create.json', data: jsonPost, success: callback, dataType: "json", contentType: "application/json", processData: false }); </script> 

On the side of the rails:

 def api_create respond_to do |format| format.json { email = params[:email] token = params[:token] auto_action = params[:auto_action] 

The side of the rails recognizes the request as JSON, but I do not see the data in the request when debugging in rails.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

You do not need to convert JSON to string if you do the opposite in rails?

 jQuery.ajax({ type: "POST", url: 'http://localhost:3000/api/create.json', data: JSON.stringify(jsonPost), success: callback, dataType: "json", contentType: "application/json", processData: false });
