How to create Http request URL to accept JSON data from user and send response code as OK using ASP .net with VB
Someone asked on Stack Overflow:
How to create a web application in ASP .net with VB which should accept HTTP request from users in JSON format (Sender should be able to send it in JSON format) and send response code as 200 OK once we received data. Whenever someone sends JSON data web service should send a response.
I posted the following answer, which was chosen as the accepted answer:
I’d recommend you look into ASP.NET Web API. This link is C#, but it is similar for Visual Basic.
You need to create a controller with an action that accepts the JSON data you anticipate.
Something like this should work:
Public Function GetProduct(ByVal input As YourInputObject) As IHttpActionResult
'process your input
Console.WriteLine(input.ToString()) ' or similar
Return Ok(product) ' HTTP 200
End Function
You can use a tool like Postman to test that its working how you expect.

Nate (0 upvotes): @Rameez you can check the documentation for WebAPI, you can use these controller actions to accept GET, PUT, POST, and any other HTTP verb you can dream up. The basic structure should be like what I have here.
