title: Consume JSON in body of POST Request from ASP.NET
body: <p>I need to be able to consume some JSON data in a POST request from another web app. I have tried looking at the various methods on the Request class, but nothing seems to give me the JSON I need. </p>
  
  <p>Using <code>Request.Form</code> will not work, since it is not coming from a form, but another web app. The content type is <code>application/json</code>, and from examining the whole HTTP request, I know the JSON is in there. What is the best way to get at this JSON data?</p>
  
  <p>Note: I am working from within an action on a controller.</p>
