Have you considered using Page Method's instead?

[WebMethod]
public static void AddPerson(String name, Int32 age)
{  
    //implementation here  
}  

It acts much like a web service, and will only send the tiny amount of JSON required to make the method call.

You can also do this using JQuery.

EDIT:

Making this call from the client can be as simple as this:

function getPersonJson() {
    var name = $("#<%= Name.ClientID %>");
    var age = $("#<%= Age.ClientID %>");
    return json = "{name:'" + name.val() + "',age:'" + age.val() + "'}";
}

function callAddPerson() {
    var json = getPersonJson();

    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "AddPersonPageMethod.aspx/AddPerson",
        data: json,
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function(msg) {
            alert("Success!");
        }
    });
}
