"detail": "JSON parse error - Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)"
I made some changes to the view and the serializer. Now, when I go to 'api/tweets/create/
and I write a new tweet in the Content post I got and error "detail": "JSON parse error - Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)"

This error usually occurs when, you hit an API on postman with invalid JSON Syntax
Did you get a way around this? I seem to be encountering the same problem
This problem is also occurs with me when I am hit an API on postman with invalid JSON Syntax!
@codingforentrepreneurs is there any solution for this problem so I can solve this problem.
