Final answer:
Sending JSON in form data via Postman involves creating a POST request, using the Body tab to select 'form-data', and then either uploading a JSON file or entering JSON as text under the appropriate 'Key'.
Step-by-step explanation:
To send JSON in form data in Postman, you will need to follow these steps:
- Open Postman and create a new request by clicking on the plus (+) tab.
- In the request tab, select 'POST' as the method from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the request URL to which you want to send the form data.
- Go to the 'Body' tab in Postman, and then select 'form-data' from the available options.
- Under the 'Key' section of form-data, enter the key as expected by the server. If the server expects JSON in a specific key, you put that key here.
- In the 'Value' section, click on the dropdown that defaults to 'Text' and change it to 'File'. Then, click on 'Select Files' and upload your JSON file. You can also directly type in a JSON object by changing the dropdown back to 'Text' and inputting the JSON string.
- Send your request by clicking the 'Send' button.
Remember that not all servers support sending JSON as part of form-data, so ensure the API you are calling is expecting JSON in this way.
