Pass JSON to MVC 3 Action

Question

I am trying to submit JSON to a MVC action. What I want is to take the JSON object and then access it's data. The number of JSON fields will vary each time so I need a solution that will handle all cases.

This is my POST to my action, address could have 3 fields or 20 it will vary on each post.

Update: I'll go into a little more detail. I'm trying to use the LinkedIn API, I'll be sent a JSON which will look like the JSON at the end of this page : link. I need to create an Action which will accept this JSON which will vary for every person.

var address =
    {
        Address: "123 rd",   
        City: "Far Away",
        State: "Over There"           
    };


    $.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        url: "/Account/GetDetails/",
        data: JSON.stringify(address),
        dataType: "json",
        success: function () {

            alert("Success from JS");
        }
    });

This is my action in MVC, I need to be apply to take whatever JSON object is passed and access its fields.

 [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult GetDetails(object address)
    {         
        //address object comes in as null            

        @ViewBag.Successs = true;

        return View();

    }

I don't believe nobody saying this so I will try. Have your code like this

 public class Personal
 {
      public string Address { get; set; }
      public string City { get; set; }
      public string State { get; set; }
      //other properties here
 }

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult GetDetails(Personal address)
{         
    //Should be able to get it.            

    @ViewBag.Successs = true;

    return View();

}

In general, you can add those possible properties into the class Personal (or whatever you can name it). But according to linkedin API, you will need a tool to generate the data class due to its complexity. I think xsd.exe can help if you can get xsd file for that (or you can even generate xsd file from xml)
