See here: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

contentType and dataTypeString are the 2 u need.
Like this:

$.ajax(
    {
        type: "POST",
        url: "/prom/" + project + "/Safety/GenerateMapping",
        data: "{\"keyword1\":\"" + keyword1 + "\",\"streetname\":\"" + address1 + "\",\"lat\":\"" + lat + "\",\"lng\":\"" + lng + "\",\"radius\":\"" + radius + "\"}",
        dataType: "json",
        contentType: "xml",
        failure: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) 
                 { ajaxError(XMLHttpRequest,textStatus, errorThrown); },
        success: function(xml) 
             { ajaxFinish(xml); }
     });
