Why doesn't rest_framework want to parse json?

Question

Django

There is a function that accepts json

@csrf_exempt
def update(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        try:
            data = JSONParser().parse(request)

The code is running on a server on port 8080 and an address of this kind http://example:8080
is registered. request via pycharm or postman, I get this error

(Pdb) !JSONParser().parse(request)
*** rest_framework.exceptions.ParseError: JSON parse error - Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

You are most likely sending a POST request. Get hooked with a debugger and see what you have in the input data.
