Request payload is [Object Object] in the AJAX post request triggered

Question

I am sending a ajax request with the following data. The data here is an object and I intend to send an object itself (not stringified JSON). But when I see the request in browser, the request payload is displayed as [object object] even though I am sending a project JS object.

let emailIdForAPICall = { "email": "[email protected]"};

$.ajax({
          type: 'POST',
           url: gigyaServlet,
           data: {    
             'profile': emailIdForAPICall,
           }
    })

Once the above API call is triggered, the payload looks like below -

Tried using JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(emailIdForAPICall)) but it still did not work.

Whats worrying is, same type of request works a different site properly.

let emailIdForAPICall = {
    "email": "[email protected]"
};

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: gigyaServlet,
    data: JSON.stringify({  //stringify your obj
        'profile': emailIdForAPICall,
    }),
    contentType: 'application/json',  // add contentType
})

The data to be sent with request should be an object. I cannot stringify it. And the contentType is set as application/json

Ramya Shivu your request is from data or JSON. if JSON then please pass contentType: 'application/json',in header & if it is form data

let emailIdForAPICall = { "email": "[email protected]"};

 $.ajax({
              type: 'POST',
               url: gigyaServlet,
               data: JSON.stringify({  //stringify your obj
            'profile': emailIdForAPICall,
        })
        })
