title: Python Falcon - get POST data
body: <p>I try to use falcon package in my project. Problem is I didn't find a way to get body data from the HTTP post request.</p>
  
  <p>I used code from example, but <code>req.stream.read()</code> doesn't return JSON as expected.</p>
  
  <p>The code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>raw_json = req.stream.read()
  result.json(raw_json, encoding='utf-8')
  resp.body = json.dumps(result_json, encoding='utf-8')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How to get the POST data?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help</p>
