Parse JSON object from a POST request body in Django/python based server -

i using following function send json formatted data django based server stores user keys generated users in database. when try access request.body on server side using python on django, gets printed string [object object]. how handle part of parsing json request.body on server side. function completekeygen(data) { var key_data = { 'user_id':user_id, 'keys':data } delete data['action']; console.log("sending ube keys user"); console.log(key_data);

    var oreq = new xmlhttprequest();     oreq.open("post",cloud_server+'add_ube_keys',true);     oreq.responsetype = "json";     oreq.setrequestheader("content-type", "application/json");     oreq.onload = function(oevent){         console.log(oreq.response.success);     };     oreq.send(key_data); } 

for reference server side code:

@csrf_exempt def add_ube_keys(request):     data = request.post     print data.get('user_id')     return_data = {         'success':true     }     rdata = json.dumps(return_data)     return httpresponse(rdata, content_type='application/json') 

unlike possibly duplicate question, getting querydict object on print request.post returns <querydict: {}>. why empty ?

i still don't know wrong approach in question mentioned above solved in 3 steps:

1. i added json.stringify(key_data) in javascript before sending xmlhttprequest.

2. changed application/json application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

3. now python side treats data normal string, used json.loads(request.body) extract json object stringified data.

the above 2 steps have been taken posted question: how receive post data in python when using xmlhttprequest()
