Where's My JSON Data in My Incoming Django Request

Where's my JSON data in my incoming Django request?

If you are posting JSON to Django, I think you want request.body (request.raw_post_data on Django < 1.4). This will give you the raw JSON data sent via the post. From there you can process it further.

Here is an example using JavaScript, jQuery, jquery-json and Django.

JavaScript:

var myEvent = {id: calEvent.id, start: calEvent.start, end: calEvent.end,
               allDay: calEvent.allDay };
$.ajax({
    url: '/event/save-json/',
    type: 'POST',
    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    data: $.toJSON(myEvent),
    dataType: 'text',
    success: function(result) {
        alert(result.Result);
    }
});

Django:

def save_events_json(request):
    if request.is_ajax():
        if request.method == 'POST':
            print 'Raw Data: "%s"' % request.body   
    return HttpResponse("OK")

Django < 1.4:

  def save_events_json(request):
    if request.is_ajax():
        if request.method == 'POST':
            print 'Raw Data: "%s"' % request.raw_post_data
    return HttpResponse("OK")

Getting a JSON request in a view (using Django)

This is how I did it:

def api_response(request):
    try:
        data=json.loads(request.raw_post_data)
        label=data['label']
        url=data['url']
        print label, url
    except:
        print 'nope'
    return HttpResponse('')

How to receive json data using HTTP POST request in Django 1.6?

You're confusing form-encoded and JSON data here. request.POST['foo'] is for form-encoded data. You are posting raw JSON, so you should use request.body.

received_json_data=json.loads(request.body)

Django json post request parse

Data to be sent as json must be "stringified", so you need to do "JSON.stringify(data)"

$.ajax({
        type:"POST",
        url:"{% url 'validate_purchase' %}",
        data: JSON.stringify(data),
        dataType: "application/json; charset=UTF-8",
        success: function(data){
        }
    });

Is transferring JSON data in Django possible without JS / JQuery?

In Django's views you usually pass such values as context.

function based view:

def a_view(request):
    context = {
        'some_things': Thing.objects.all()
    }
    return render(request, 'your_template.html', context)

class based view:

class TheView(View):
    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['some_things'] = Thing.objects.all()
        return context

With any of given approaches in template it will work like this:

{% for thing in some_things %}
    {{ thing }}, {{ thing.id }}, {{ thing.get_related_things }}
{% endfor %}
