如果需要异步调用，则使用

var request = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.maplegraphservices.com/tokkri/webservices/updateProfile.php?oldEmailID=" + App.currentUser.email) as HttpWebRequest;
            request.Method = "POST";
            request.ContentType = "text/json";
            request.BeginGetRequestStream(new AsyncCallback(GetRequestStreamCallback), request);

private void GetRequestStreamCallback(IAsyncResult asynchronousResult)
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)asynchronousResult.AsyncState;
        // End the stream request operation

        Stream postStream = request.EndGetRequestStream(asynchronousResult);


        // Create the post data
        string postData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(edit).ToString();

        byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);


        postStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
        postStream.Close();

        //Start the web request
        request.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(GetResponceStreamCallback), request);
    }

    void GetResponceStreamCallback(IAsyncResult callbackResult)
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)callbackResult.AsyncState;
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.EndGetResponse(callbackResult);
        using (StreamReader httpWebStreamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
        {
            string result = httpWebStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
            stat.Text = result;
        }

    }

HttpClient类型是一个比WebClient和HttpWebRequest更新的实现。WebClient和WebRequest都已被标记为过时。[1]

您可以简单地使用以下几行代码。

string myJson = "{'Username': 'myusername','Password':'pass'}";
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
    var response = await client.PostAsync(
        "http://yourUrl", 
         new StringContent(myJson, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"));
}

当你不止一次需要你的HttpClient时，建议只创建一个实例并重用它或使用新的HttpClientFactory。[２]

对于FTP，由于HttpClient不支持，我们建议使用第三方库。

@learn.microsoft.com [3]

从dotnet核心3.1开始，你可以使用System.Text.Json中的JsonSerializer来创建你的json字符串。

string myJson = JsonSerializer.Serialize(credentialsObj);

var data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(json);

byte[] postBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);

使用ASCII代替UFT8

admar的解决方案可以通过利用JavaScriptSerializer的Serialize方法来提供对象到JSON的隐式转换来改进。

此外，还可以利用using语句的默认功能，以避免显式调用Flush和Close。

var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://url");
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";

using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
    string json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(new
                {
                    user = "Foo",
                    password = "Baz"
                });

    streamWriter.Write(json);
}

var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
    var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}

我的方法是:

var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://url");
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";

using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
    string json = "{\"user\":\"test\"," +
                  "\"password\":\"bla\"}";

    streamWriter.Write(json);
}

var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
    var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}

我写了一个库来以更简单的方式执行这个任务，它在这里:https://github.com/ademargomes/JsonRequest

我发现这是最友好和最简洁的方式来发布读取JSON数据:

var url = @"http://www.myapi.com/";
var request = new Request { Greeting = "Hello world!" };
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize<Request>(request);
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
    var jsonResponse = client.UploadString(url, json);
    var response = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Response>(jsonResponse);
}

我正在使用微软的System.Text.Json来序列化和反序列化JSON。NuGet见。
