Question

I’m sending an Ajax request (with jQuery) with structured post data:

$.post(
    myUrl,
    {
         items: [{code: 'a', description: 'aaa'},
                {code: 'b', description: 'bbb'}]
    })

what I see in request.POST is:

<QueryDict: {u'items[0][code]': [u'a'],
             u'items[0][description]': [u'aaa'],
             u'items[1][description]': [u'bbb'],
             u'items[1][code]': [u'b']}>

How can I process the request to obtain the original items?

(Note that request.POST.get('items') doesn’t work)

I made special library for Django/Python to handle structured data sent through requests. You can find it on GitHub here.
