Sending json from template to view in django

I want to send json data via ajax fr4om template to view and put it directly in database. the problem is that the data does not reach the view. (when i insert numbers it works but when i try to insert my json data: json_data['x'],json_data['y'],json_data['z'] it doesn't works) any ideas ??

url.py

url(r'^ajaxexample_json$', 'myApp.views.ajax'),

Template:

$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json",
url : "http://localhost:8000/ajaxexample_json",
data : { x: "1", y: "2" , z: "3" },
dataType: "json"
});

view.py

def ajax(request):
    db = db_connection().db;
    db_manager= db_management(db);
    json_data=json.loads(request.body)
    db_manager.insert_access_point(json_data['x'],json_data['y'],json_data['z'])
    db.close()                                      
    return HttpResponse('Ok')

jQuery will not take an object and turn it into JSON. You must do that yourself using a function like JSON.stringify

data : JSON.stringify({ x: "1", y: "2" , z: "3" }),
