request.json() does not handle arrays properly

[arsenkylyshbek]

Payload:

{
  "sources": ["google_docs", "notion"]
}

Code:

@app.post("/search")
async def search(request):
    request_data = request.json()
    sources = request_data.get("sources", [])

returns a string ["google_docs","notion"]

using json.loads() makes it work

Yes, I also encountered this issue. Is this expected?

but，i see “# Robyn's request.json() returns a dict, no need for await”， What went wrong?

I've worked this around with:

from orjson import loads
...

data = loads(req.body)

but please fix it.
