title: Django Rest frameworks: request.Post vs request.data?
body: <p>The Django Rest Frameworks has this to say about <code>POST</code>, quoting a Django dev</p>
  <blockquote>
  <h3>Requests</h3>
  <p>If you're doing REST-based web service stuff ... you should ignore request.POST.</p>
  <p>— Malcom Tredinnick, Django developers group</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>As not-so experienced web-developer, why is <code>request.POST</code> (standard) discouraged over <code>request.DATA</code> (non-standard)? Is one more flexible?</p>
