{
  orderId: sample2,
  restaurantId: cartssj,
  dateTime: fdsfd,
  status: pending,
  cartItems: [
    {
      "itemId": "1001",
      "itemName": "Onion",
      "requestedQty": "1",
      "fulfilledQty": "1",
      "pricePerUnit": "78"
    },
    {
      "itemId": "1002",
      "itemName": "Potato",

Hi, iwas able to get the right format of json to be passed finally but still django returns an  415 Unsupported Media Type Error

the following data is passed, it is the right format and is getting added when using the restframework raw data form but not getting added from post request

{
  "orderId": "sample2",
  "restaurantId": "cartssj",
  "dateTime": "fdsfd",
  "status": "pending",

  "cartItems": [
    {
      "itemId": "1001",
      "itemName": "Onion",
      "requestedQty": "1",
      "fulfilledQty": "1",
      "pricePerUnit": "78"
    },
    {
      "itemId": "1002",
      "itemName": "Potato",
      "requestedQty": "1",
      "fulfilledQty": "1",
      "pricePerUnit": "35"
    }
  ],

  "total": "113.0"
}
