TIL that curl supports a --json flag to send and accept JSON responses since version 7.82.0, which means that the following requests,
sh
curl --data '{"name": "morpheus"}' \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--request POST https://example.com/api/users
curl -d '{"name": "morpheus"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-X POST https://example.com/api/users
can be further shortened as follows:
sh
curl --json '{"name": "morpheus"}' \
-X POST https://example.com/api/users
