jQuery Json via Ajax strange String behaviour

Question

Something strange happens: when i want to post a string "??" via ajax to the server

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: path,
  dataType: 'json',
  data: JSON.stringify({
    text: "??"
  })
});

it allways produces something like that in request to the server:

{"text":"jQuery21109622253710404038_1411696744993"}:

What is happening here? What the problem with double ? ?

try it without the stringify. You don't really need it unless you want to send an object inside data — jollarvia

You need to specify the content type;

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: path,
  dataType: 'json',
  contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8', //<--This line
  data: JSON.stringify({
    text: "??"
  })
});

yeah, that did the trick for me! thanks a lot! i thought that would be handled if i specify the datatype:json...

that happens, dataType is for the client to use on the response from the server

Do not use JSON.stringify for data. It should work fine after removing that. See the code below.

$.ajax({
   type: 'POST',
   url: 'http://localhost/rnd/ajax.php',
   dataType: 'json',
   data: {text: "??"}
});
