What is the difference between request.body and request.POST?

Question

Django

I send data from the frontend:

const res = await fetch('/pushes/save_information', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify(data),
        headers: {
            'content-type': 'application/json'
        },
        credentials: "include"
    });

In this case, the data is in request.body, and request.POST is empty. POST only stores data in forms format?

Answer 1

request.body contains the raw request body.
request.POST - parsed if the Content-Type of the request is multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencoded
