Re^3: Getting error while decoding JSON object via POST method

Have you printed out your JSON data string at the receiving end to see what you get there? An empty string gives the same error message:

>perl -MJSON -e "print JSON->new->decode('')"
malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, 
+at character offset 0 (before "(end of string)") at -e line 1.

I think you are trying to pass the data around in a very bad manner:

<c> "/projectname/restfulapi?inputdata=$jsonData"; <c>

If you send POST data, please read HTTP::Request on how to send POST data. If you want to send the data in an URI, please encode it properly using URI::Encode.

Where did you try what? I think that you are either not sending the data you think you're sending, or you're not receiving the data you think you're receiving. You have not shown working, self-contained code that exhibits the problem, so it's hard to replicate your problem or to understand what you're doing wrong. If you want to investigate this further, I suggest printing the values you get in the request to a log file on the receiving end.	[reply]
