Is it correct to pass json as string

Hi Hari, 

 Hi Vivek,

Thanks for reply . I am doing deserializing the Payload filed in back end after recieve the request and able to do the validation and saving . But is it allowed to pass json as string value ?.Please help to confirm . Thanks for your support 

Hi Hari,

I don't thnk so it is correct way to pass as a string because you can't keep validation in API level or correct format if you pass as a string and at the same time if you want to do any operation (saving or updating in Database) then it is not recommended to do because again you have to write bunch of code for manupalate the data.

HI Rajesh 

 

Proposed example will not suit for me . my question here for post method json passing as nested string as below . in the below example "Payload" field having another json as value 

 

my question here weather below way is recomonded or not ?  is there any API's using this approch?
