JSON

This feature requires cURL 7.82.0.
The --json option is the equivalent of setting

--data [arg]
--header "Content-Type: application/json"
--header "Accept: application/json"

Instead of this :

curl --data '{"msg": "hello"}' \
	--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--header "Accept: application/json" \
	https://example.com

Write that !
curl --json '{"msg": "hello"}' https://example.com
