user: How do I send JSON data with curl? assistant: According to the offical curl docs https://curl.se/docs/manual.html, you can send JSON data using the `-d` flag with a Content-Type header.

https://curl.se/docs/manual.html states:

With -d, @file, curl will send the data using the content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded... If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a file name to read from, or - if you want curl to read from stdin.

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.example.com/data \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "example", "value": 123}'
```
