* It supports parsing the content of HTTP methods other than `POST`, meaning that you can access the content of `PUT` and `PATCH` requests.
* It supports REST framework's flexible request parsing, rather than just supporting form data. For example you can handle incoming [JSON data] similarly to how you handle incoming [form data].
* If the client does not send any data and does not specify form encoding, the value of `.data` is determined by the `DEFAULT_MISSING_DATA` setting. If form encoding is used and no data is sent, `.data` will be an empty Django `QueryDict`.
For more details see the [parsers documentation].
