Hello, Thembelani,

I have implemented a similar case in this app:

https://github.com/oliverwilms/irisrest/blob/master/src/App/REST.cls#:~:...

Important helper method is this:

/// Helper method
ClassMethod GetJSONFromRequest(Output obj As %DynamicObject) As %Boolean
{
    Set ok = 1
    Try {
        Set obj = ##class(%DynamicObject).%FromJSON(%request.Content)
    } Catch ex {
        Set ok = 0
    }
    Quit ok
}

Best regards,

Oliver
