You probably don't want request.body. You are probably POSTing the JSON
using a form, which means that it shows up as something like
request.POST['data'], where you should replace 'data' with the name of the
form element (textarea?) where you are putting the JSON. Posting with a
form wraps things up in a multipart form (allowing you to have, among other
things, more than one field in a post), and that extra stuff doesn't look
line JSON, but the whole is what you get when you use request.body.
