Parse data from editor into a Json object from rest (MVC WebApi) server side

JasonColeyNZ

This is what I have in the ApiController, this is being hit, but I need to parse the object as I need to do processing before it is passed to another web service

    [HttpPost]
    public IHttpActionResult Part( )
    {
        var request = HttpContext.Current.Request;
       //how can i get <PartList> object from request?
       return Json (new {success = true });
    }

var editor;

function InitTable(ManualID)
{
    $('#Parts').dataTable().fnDestroy();

    $('#Parts').dataTable({
        ajax: "Home/Read_Parts/" + ManualID,
