Description

Hi there,

I'm trying to setup a route that will be able to receive a post request with an array (valid json) without having to name it. For example if I do

curl -XPOST -d '[{"foo": "baz"}, {"foo": "bar"}]' locahost:3000/foo

I want to be able to access this array of data. Is there any way I can do it ?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the curl request against a minimal Grape route, then inspect the request-body parsing behavior and existing JSON handling; done means a top-level JSON array can be received and accessed without a named parameter, with regression coverage.
