Comment (by timtaiwanliim):
These 3 issues are related.
[1] https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21442
[2] https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28678
[3] https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/4881
[1] is the overall tracker for this issue, desires to create a
configurable parser. Opened 9 years ago.
[3] describes the desired behavior with example. Opened 5 years ago.
[2] has a proposed fix (credit: Facundo Batista). The fix is simple and
worked well when I tried it. Opened 5 years ago.
Surely a configurable parser [1] is a good goal to pursue. But if it
takes 9 years before anything happens, perhaps we can take [2]? It is
not configurable, but it works well.
re: a case for multipart parser that can handle json parts
I have an api that takes some json input, plus 2 optional image files.
With json parser, I cannot easily include image files (base64 works, but
clumsy for modest size images).
Multipart parser allows me to send the json input plus images in 1
call. But all the data parts are treated as text (str). One of the
data field is a dict (eg. { "x": 7, "y": 5 }).
If I use json parser, it is an dict (good).
If I use multipart parser, it becomes a str (bad; desired to get a
dict).
