How to post data structure like json to flask?

Question

I have a data structure like this:

I\'m try to send it to server by $.ajax

Answer 1

If you inspect the POST being submitted by jQuery, you will most likely see that content is actually being passed as content[]. To access it from the Flask's request object, you would then need to use request.form.getlist('content[]').

If you would prefer to have it passed through as content, you can add traditional: true to your $.ajax() call.

More details about this can be found in the 'data' and 'traditional' sections of http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/.
