Django: How to send request to JSON view in tests

If in your Django project you have a view that accepts or returns JSON, you can use the following code for your unittests

import json
from django.test import TestCase

class JSONViewTestCase(TestCase):
    def test_json_view(self):
        response = self.client.post(
            reverse(
                'my_json_view',
                args=('test', 123)
            ),
            json.dumps({
                'user': 'me@example.com',
            }),
            'json',
            HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH='XMLHttpRequest',
        )
        json_string = response.content
        response_data = json.loads(json_string)
        # do smth.
