Preparing the test data

In this section, we're going to see how to send CSV data to a web API method. We will reuse the CSV data we created in Chapter 12, Content Negotiation Using a Custom OutputFormatter.

This is a snippet of the test data we want to use:

Id,FirstName,LastName,Age,EmailAddress,Address,City,Phone
48,Austin,Ward,49,[e-mail],"8814 Gravesend Neck Road ",Daly City,[phone]
2,Sierra,Smith,15,[e-mail],"1199 Marshall Street ",Whittier,[phone]
27,Victorina,Radcliff,40,[e-mail],"2663 Sutton Street ",Bloomington,[phone]
78,Melissa,Brandzin,39,[e-mail],"7439 Knight Court ",Tool,[phone]
89,Kathryn,Perry,87,[e-mail],"5283 Vanderbilt Street ",Carlsbad,[phone]
