Django saving json value to database/model

Assuming a model of:

class User(models.Model):
  name = models.CharField()
  phone_number = models.CharField()

Sending json of {"name":"Test User", "phone_number":"123-456-7890"}

In the view you could do the following to save it to the database.

def SaveUser(request):
  body_unicode = request.body.decode('utf-8')
  body = json.loads(body_unicode)
  u = User(**body)
  u.save()
  return JsonResponse({"result": "OK"})

If you're using Postgres, you can store json with JSONField (read more), but if not, you need parse json to string and save with CharField/TextField using json.dumps(data). To recovery data, use json string to dict with json.loads(json_string)

Remember to import json lib: import json

If you want to store the intact JSON, try using the django-jsonfield project: https://github.com/dmkoch/django-jsonfield

If I understand your question clearly then Your view should be something like.

def add_comments(request):
    if 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' in request.META['CONTENT_TYPE']:
        print 'hi'
        data = json.loads(request.body)
        comment = data.get('comment', None)
        id = data.get('id', None)
        title = data.get('title', None) 

        post = Post.objects.get(id = id)
        com = Comment()
        com. comments = comment
        com.title = post
        com.save()
