How to Post an Array of JSON Data in Flutter

In the world of mobile app development, transferring data between your app and a server is fundamental. If you're working with Flutter and need to send an array of JSON data to a web server, you might find the process a bit confusing. This post aims to demystify it for you and provide a clear, structured approach to achieve your goal.

The Problem

You have a collection of files represented in a JSON format and need to send this data from your Flutter app to a web server. You've attempted to send this data using HTTP POST requests, but the received output isn't as expected. Let’s break down the solution to your problem into manageable sections.

Understanding the Data Structure

Your data is structured in an array of objects, where each object represents a file with specific attributes. Here's an abbreviated example of your data:

This data needs to be sent to the server in a way that it can be processed correctly.

Sending the JSON Data

Step 2: Constructing the HTTP POST Request

Here's a refined code snippet to help you send the data:
