Explanation
This Python code defines two routes for a Flask application:
/postdata
(POST):
- This route handles incoming JSON data.
- It retrieves the JSON content from the request using
request.json
. - It returns the received JSON data as a JSON response using
jsonify
. This simply echoes back the received data.
/getjson
(GET):
- This route serves a predefined JSON object with a key-value pair and a list of numbers.
- It creates a dictionary with the desired structure.
- It returns this dictionary as a JSON response using
jsonify
.
Overall, the code demonstrates basic Flask routing and JSON handling. It could be used as a starting point for building more complex data processing and API functionality within a Flask application.
Here are some key points to note:
- Blueprint:
data
is a Flask Blueprint, providing a way to organize and modularize routes and code. @data.route
: This decorator registers the specified URL patterns with the blueprint.methods=['POST']
: This specifies that the/postdata
route only accepts POST requests.request.json
: This retrieves the JSON content from the incoming POST request.jsonify
: This function converts Python data structures into JSON responses.
In a real application, the /postdata
route would likely perform more processing on the received data before returning a response. The /getjson
route might be used to provide static data or configuration options for a client application.
