Django request Post json

Question

I try to test a view, I receive a json request from the IPad, the format is:

req = {\"custom_decks\": [
        {
            \"deck_name\": \"deck_test\",
          


        

Answer 1

python 3.6 and django 2.0 :

post_json = json.loads(request.body)
custom_decks = post_json.get("custom_decks")

json.loads(s, *, encoding=None,...)

Changed in version 3.6: s can now be of type bytes or bytearray. The input encoding should be UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32.

From python 3.6 NO need request.body.decode('utf-8') .
