json.loads doesn't work with binary JSON posted by AngularJS in Python

Question

I am coding in Django and my front-end uses Angularjs like this:

In controller.js

$scope.reserve = {
    reserve: {
        duration: {
            sta         


        

Answer 1

In Python 3, you need to decode the bytes into a string before you can load the json.

json.loads(request.body.decode('utf-8'))
