My site does some short ajax call in JSON format, using jQuery. At client-side i'd like to send object just passing it in ajax function, without being forced to wrap it in an object literal like this: {'person' : person}. For the same reasons, at server-side i'd like to manage objects without the binding of $_GET['person'] or $_POST['person'].

For example:

var person = {
  'name' : 'John',
  'lastName' : 'Doe',
  'age' : 32,
  'married' : true
}

sendAjaxRequest(person);

in php, using:

$person = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));

i can get easily the object, but only with POST format, not in GET.

Any suggestions?
