    how do i send json via QNetwork? all i know is to set the header to "application/json"

    from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtNetwork
    from PyQt5.QtCore import QUrl, QTimer
    
    class software(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
        def __init__(self, parent=None):
            QtWidgets.QWidget.__init__(self, parent)
            self.ui = Ui_MainWindow()
            self.ui.setupUi(self)
    
    	self.nam = QtNetwork.QNetworkAccessManager()
    	self.nam.finished.connect(self.handlePostResponse)
    
    	self.doPost()
    
        def doPost(self):
            data = QtCore.QByteArray()
            data.append("selectedPattern=2")
    
            request = QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest(QtCore.QUrl("http://192.168.10.2/selectPattern"))
            request.setHeader(QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.ContentTypeHeader, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
    
            self.nam.post(request, data)
    
        def handlePostResponse(self, reply):
            er = reply.error()
    
            if er == QtNetwork.QNetworkReply.NoError:
                print("No Error")
                print(reply.readAll())
    
            else:
                print("Error occurred: ", er)
                print(reply.errorString())
    
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    
        myapp = software()
        myapp.show()
        sys.exit(app.exec_())

    @Kris-Revi So, you want to send HTTP POST request? If so: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qnetworkaccessmanager.html#post-1 data (second parameter) is where you pass your JSON.

        And now please express this in a sentence which we are able to understand.

              And what problem do you have? You don't ask questions we really understand but we try to help as best as we can and then you ignore our links...

                  Create a QJsonObject with the values you want, the use a QJsonDocument to convert it to a QByteArray. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtcore-serialization-savegame-example.html for an example.

                    json = QJsonDocument.object()
                    json["selectedPattern"] = "2"
                    
                    document = QJsonDocument(json)
                    doc = document.toJson(document)
                    print(doc)
                    

                    Error :

                    object(self): first argument of unbound method must have type 'QJsonDocument'

                              The QJsonDocument::toJson overload you want to use takes no argument.

                                    def doPost(self):
                                        try:

                                            document = QJsonDocument(json)
                                
                                            print(document.toJson())
                                
                                            request = QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest(QtCore.QUrl("http://192.168.10.2/selectPattern"))
                                            request.setHeader(QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.ContentTypeHeader, "application/json")
                                
                                            self.nam2.post(request, document.toJson())
                                        except Exception as e:
                                            print(e)
                                
                                    def handlePostResponse(self, reply):
                                        er = reply.error()
                                
                                        if er == QtNetwork.QNetworkReply.NoError:
                                            print("No Error")
                                            print(reply.readAll())
                                
                                        else:
                                            print("Error occurred: ", er)
                                            print(reply.errorString())
                                

                                the print out in doPost function looks weird :S this b' and \n

                                b'{\n    "selectedPatter": "2"\n}\n'
                                

                                but the print in handlePostResponse function is

                                No Error
                                b''

                                  No it does not, it's a string, or rather bytes, containing a simple json document containing one field.

                                  As for the reply you are getting, what are you expecting ? Is the service supposed to return something ?

                                    No it does not, it's a string, or rather bytes, containing a simple json document containing one field.

                                    As for the reply you are getting, what are you expecting ? Is the service supposed to return something ?
