JSON Examples

JSON is an emerging standard in use in many web applications. Some Discover modules use JSON POSTs for submitting data from the client to Discover for capture. The following example content types can be displayed in Discover- or application-sourced data.

Request Type

DNCA Content Type Evaluation

text/json

Request is considered a known text content type. When the request body processing is complete, it is a known content type and is processed accordingly.

application/json

If the request content type is application/json and is not defined in the Capture All POST types list, then it is an unknown type for the DNCA. No processing of the request body is performed, and the hit is dropped.

application/json

If the request content type is application/json and is defined in the Capture All POST types list, then it is a known type for the DNCA. If it is not listed on the XML or Binary type lists, it is considered a text type and is processed as text.
