curl POST with JSON Input and JSON Output

See more CURL Examples

Demonstrates running a simple curl command with JSON input and JSON output. Rust

// Run the following curl command

//  curl -X POST https://httpbin.org/post \
//       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
//       -d '{
//             "title": "foo",
//             "body": "bar",
//             "userId": 1
//           }'

// The backslashes at the end of lines are not required.  Chilkat ignores them if present.
