How to parse a javascript list containing dictionary in python django

Question

I have a webhook.

data0=[{"senderId":"smsdia","requestId":"******383233353233","report":[{"date":"2017-12-02 17:00:41","number":"12345","status":"1","desc":"DELIVERED"}],"userId":"119385","campaignName":"viaSOCKET"}]

I receive the above data in a POST request to my server.

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

How do I parse it?

I know that if it is a list: data1=['sree','kanth'] I can parse it with request.POST.getlist('data1[]')

But I don't know how to parse when it is a list containing dict.

Moreover, I get len(data1) is 2. But len(data0) is 0.

You need to provide more information. This is probably JSON, but it's not at all clear how it is being sent. Please show the code that is posting to your server. — Daniel Roseman

This appears to be JSON sent inside a form field. You can use the json library to parse it:

data = json.loads(request.POST['data'])
