- Sends the specified JSON data in a POST request to the HTTP server. --json
- works as a shortcut for passing on these three options:
- --data [arg]
- --header "Content-Type: application/json"
- --header "Accept: application/json"
- There is **no verification** that the passed in data is actual JSON or that
- the syntax is correct.
- If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a file name to
- read the data from, or a single dash (-) if you want curl to read the data
- from stdin. Posting data from a file named 'foobar' would thus be done with
- --json @foobar and to instead read the data from stdin, use --json @-.
- If this option is used more than once on the same command line, the additional
- data pieces will be concatenated to the previous before sending.
- The headers this option sets can be overridden with --header as usual.
