Question

I am working on app engine in python, with a handler to response the post requests from javascript, the post requests are sent in JSON structure, in firebug console window, the Http request is shown:

[{"name":"John","value":"student"},{"name":"Mike","value":"teacher"}]

Can anyone tell me how to get this JSON data off the post requests in the handler?
thanks in advance.

Answer 1

from google.appengine.ext import webapp
import json

class Handler(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def post(self):

        # Convert JSON from the request to Python objects.
        data = json.loads(self.request.body)

        # For your sample input, data will be a list of dicts.
        for person in data:
            name = person['name']
            value = person['value']
