Django REST framework parse request.data raising error

Question

In Django view, I am trying this-

@csrf_exempt
@api_view(['GET', 'POST'])
def EmployeeList(request):

    if request.method == 'GET':
        employees = PersonalInfo.objects.all()
        serializer = PersonalInfoSerializer(employees, many=True)
        return JsonResponse(serializer.data, safe=False)

    elif request.method == 'POST':
        data = JSONParser().parse(request)
        print data
        serializer = PersonalInfoSerializer(data=data)
        if serializer.is_valid():
            serializer.save()
            return JsonResponse(serializer.data, status=201)
        return JsonResponse(serializer.errors, status=400)

On posting data from postman, It raising attribute error

    {
    "detail": "JSON parse error - No JSON object could be decoded"
}

when using data = JSONParser().parse(request.data) instead of data = JSONParser().parse(request) getting this error :

AttributeError: 'QueryDict' object has no attribute 'read'

when you use drf the request is instance of rest_framework.request.Request requests, but for rest_framework.parsers JSONParser.parser you need to send as parameter: django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIRequest, which you can get by request._request, but i think only you need is:

 serializer = PersonalInfoSerializer(data=request.data)
