How to make a POST request in JSON format in QT?

Question

Qt

What the request should look like:

{
   "app": "*",
   "time": "2014-11-07T16:21:02+03:00",
   "requests": [
           {
           "func": "r_genres_list",
           "id": "genres_list"
           }
   ]
}

I can't figure out how to format this block:

"requests": [
           {
           "func": "r_genres_list",
           "id": "genres_list"
           }
   ]

Tried like this:

QUrl url ( "https://requestbin.net/r/bfeldb43" );
    QByteArray reqdata;
    reqdata.append( "&time=" + QDateTime::currentDateTime().toTimeSpec( Qt::OffsetFromUTC ).toString( Qt::ISODate ) );
    reqdata.append( "&app=1" );
    reqdata.append( "&requests= { \"func\": \"r_genres_list\", \"id\":\"genres_list\"}]" );
    QNetworkRequest request( url  );
    request.setRawHeader(  "jdata", "1" );
    manager->post( request, reqdata );

The output turned out

As I understand it, the parameter is not perceived as an array, but in one line. How can I make a request correctly?

To do this, you'd better create a QJsonObject or QVariantMap, fill it with data.
And then store them in QByteArray using QJsonDocument https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qjsondocument.html
