ASP.NET Web API uses JSON format as default format:

JSON formatting is provided by the JsonMediaTypeFormatter class. By default, JsonMediaTypeFormatter uses the Json.NET library to perform serialization. Json.NET is a third-party open source project.

what you just do is to defined your model object which map with json:

public class Model
{
    public int Property1 { get; set; }
    public string Property2 { get; set; }

    // More properties
}

And your POST method:

public void Post(Model model)
{}
