Passing JSON data to .getJSON in jQuery?

Question

I am trying to pass a JSON object to .getJSON but I keep getting a bad request error. This is what I am trying:

var data = {
    "SomeID": "18",
    "Utc": null,
    "Flags": "324"
};

$.getJSON("https://somewhere.com/AllGet?callback=?", JSON.stringify(data), function (result) {
    alert(result);
});

Currently to get it working, I have to do this, but I do not like how I have to manually construct the query string:

$.getJSON("https://somewhere.com/AllGet?SomeID=18&Utc=&Flags=324&callback=?", null, function (result) {
        alert(result);
    });

Anyone know how to make requests easier with JSON objects being passed in? I would appreciate any help or advise.

according to the site, this is valid:

$.getJSON("test.js", { name: "John", time: "2pm" }, function(json) {
    alert("JSON Data: " + json.users[3].name);
    });

so try:

var data = {
    SomeID: "18",
    Utc: null,
    Flags: "324"
};

$.getJSON("https://somewhere.com/AllGet?callback=?", data, function (result) {
    alert(result);
});
