Why postman POST method do not provide params in `json` format?

Question

In my flask project, there is a route:

def request_parse(req_data):
    if req_data.method == 'POST':
        data = req_data.json
    elif req_data.method == 'GET':
        data = req_data.args
    return data

@app.route('/api/d/u', methods=['POST'])
def update():  # name, domain_list, pem_key, pem_cert, origin_ips

    data = request_parse(request)
    name = data.get('name')
    domain_list = data.get('domain_list')
    pem_key = data.get('pem_key')
    pem_cert = data.get('pem_cert')
    origin_ips = data.get('origin_ips')

in Postman I request it like this:

I use postman request the api:

you see it is POST method, and in my project debug, I found the request data is in form,not in json.

I also tried form-data and x-www-form-urlencoded format, all are in form.

why postman POST method do not provide params to request.json? and is it possible to provide params in request.json?

If you want to send it as JSON, change from x-www-form-urlencoded to raw and you should see a drop down for Text, JSON, HTML. You can then select JSON
