How to post JSON using Curl?
To post JSON data using Curl, you need to set the Content-Type of your request to application/json and pass the JSON data with the -d command line parameter. The JSON content type is set using the -H "Content-Type: application/json" command line parameter. JSON data is passed as a string. Double quotes in JSON must be escaped with the backslash "\" on Windows computers. In this Curl POST JSON example, we send JSON to the ReqBin echo URL.

How do I post request body with Curl?
To send data to the server in the POST request body, you must pass the required data to Curl using the -d or --data command line switch and specify the data content type using the -H command line switch. The Content-Type header is required for the server to correctly interpret and process the data in the body of the POST message. For example, if you send JSON to a server, you must specify the content type of the data in the body of the POST message using the Content-Type header: application/json and application/xml for XML.
