Another way to do it is to simply use 'dynamic' type to handle json request data. Take a look: 

[HttpPost]
public IActionResult YoutMethod([FromBody] dynamic requestData)
{
  Log.Information(requestData.field1);
  Log.Information(requestData.field2);
  // ...

  return Ok();
}

I know that is already marked as answered, but here is another way to do it:

I am not using the binding FromBody attribute.

Controller

    public class JsonRequest
    {
        public string Id { get; set; }
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Save(JsonRequest data)
    {

        return Json(data.Id);
    }

Instead of using dataType I am using accept and you don't need to convert your json into a string.

To avoid problems with relative paths I am using: url: '@Url.Action("Save", "Home")' as well.

Javascript

function send()
{
    //JSON data
    var dataType = 'application/json';
    var data = {
        "id": "Zaki"
    }

    console.log('Submitting form...');
    console.log(data);
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: '@Url.Action("Save", "Home")',                        
        accept: dataType,
        data: data,
        success: function (result) {
            console.log('Data received: ');
            console.log(result);
        }
    });
}

Good luck with your project.

Modify this line in your code data: data, to

data:JSON.stringify(data)

When sending data to a web server, the data has to be a string and JSON.stringify method converts a JavaScript object into a string.

Another approach would be, instead of getting raw string value, wrap your parameter into a class object like this

public class ParamObj
{
public string ID{get;set;}
}

and in your controller get a parameter of this object type like this..

public ActionResult Save([FromBody] ParamObj data)

Thanx
