Question

Request One (Not working)

{
    "AddNewRequest":{
        "Patient":{
            "PrimaryPhoneNumber":" ",
            "DateOfBirth":" ",
            "CellPhoneNumber1":" ",
            "ResidentialAddress":{
                "AddressLine1":" ",
                "State":" ",
                "City":" ",
                "PostalCode":" "
            },
            "PhoneNumber1":" ",
            "SSN":" ",
            "FullName":"John",
            "Religion":" ",
            "Gender":" ",
            "Race":" ",
            "Firstname":"Vinoth",
            "EmailAddress1":" ",
            "LastName":"Cooper"
        },
        "Header":{
            "SourceSiteID":"300242",
            "DestinationSiteID":"300242",
            "PrimeSuiteUserID":"1"
        },
        "Credentials":{
            "VendorCredential":{
                "VendorLogin":"testGUID",
                "VendorPassword":"testGUID"
            },
            "PrimeSuiteCredential":{
                "PrimeSuiteUserPassword":"password",
                "PrimeSuiteSiteId":"1",
                "PrimeSuiteUserName":"Admin"
            }
        }
    }
}

Request Two (Working)

{
    "PatientAddNewRequest":{
        "Credentials":{
            "PrimeSuiteCredential":{
                "PrimeSuiteSiteId":"300242",
                "PrimeSuiteUserName":"Admin",
                "PrimeSuiteUserPassword":"password"
            },
            "VendorCredential":{
                "VendorLogin":"testGUID",
                "VendorPassword":"testGUID"
            }
        },
        "Header":{
            "DestinationSiteID":"300242",
            "PrimeSuiteUserID":"1",
            ":SourceSiteID":"300242"
        },
        "Patient":{
            "CellPhoneNumber1":"206-567-2222",
            "DateOfBirth":"/Date(1306348200000)/",
            "EmailAddress1":"[e-mail]",
            "Firstname":"TestMan1",
            "FullName":"TestFullMan1",
            "Gender":"2",
            "LastName":"Testlastname1",
            "PhoneNumber1":"205-567-1111",
            "PrimaryPhoneNumber":"205-456-4545",
            "Race":"2",
            "Religion":"3",
            "ResidentialAddress":{
                "City":"Carrollton",
                "PostalCode":"35209",
                "State":"10"
            },
            "SSN":"911-91-9191"
        }
    }
}

I am just not able to figure out why the first request is not working and the second one gives response. Can anyone identify what i am doing wrong.

Does Order Matter?

Update

The First one throws me Bad Request and the second one responds as expected.

Answer 1

In JSON the order doesn’t matter but the name does. In the Request One you have "AddNewRequest" while in Request Two you have "PatientAddNewRequest".

Also on the server side, the serializer/de-serializer may need specific ordering.

JSON

An object is an unordered
collection of zero or more name/value
pairs, where a name is a string and a
value is a string, number, boolean,
null, object, or array.
