django post request data

I have the following POST request

curl -v --dump-header --H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data '{"name": "John", "age": 27}' "http://localhost:8300/api/v1/create_contact?username=gegham&api_key=3efc6df6023534279d2183a696044a8cfec964a9"

Result after I'm printing request.POST is

POST:<QueryDict: {u'{"name": "John", "age": 27}': [u'']}>

but not

POST: <QueryDict: {u'name': [u'John'], u'age': [u'27']}>

So,I can't use this as dict and get values by keys. Why POST data format is difference from usual??

Because you're sending JSON, not form data. Use request.body and deserialize it with json.loads.
