Send raw body in http request

[Brian Bravo]

Hey everyone, 

What are the steps (set up) in order to send a json object in the http body request and have that identified by Grape? 

Thank you!

You don't have to do anything special other than declaring the API as JSON (or having an application/json content-type). An API with `format :json` will automatically parse POST and PUT bodies into `params`.

There's a post-json sample in https://github.com/dblock/grape-on-rack.

Thank you for your help! I tried the following in my app.rb file

    

    format :json

    content_type :json, "application/json"

Which resulted in "error": "The requested content-type 'text/plain' is not supported."

When I sent this in the body: {"updates":{}}

I'm using Chrome's extension Postman and sending a raw request with the content type set to application/json

The extension is sending data as text/plain, not application/json. That should be the content-type of the POST. 

Try with curl, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7172784/how-to-post-json-data-with-curl-from-terminal-commandline-to-test-spring-rest
