    By doing JSON.parse you are sending an object, not a JSON string which I believe is what it is expecting.

    If you change it to the below, it should work as expected. You will need to send a header with content-type: application/json

    var formdata = '{"content":"this is a json sir"}'
console.log(formdata) 
var requestOptions = { method: 'DELETE', body: formdata, headers: myHeaders, redirect: 'follow' };

    Instead of using JSON.parse() use JSON.stringify()

    try this code.

    var formdata = JSON.stringify({content: "this is a json sir" });

var requestOptions = {
  method: 'DELETE',
  body: formdata,
  headers: {
      ...myHeaders,
     contentType: "application/json",
 },
  redirect: 'follow'
};
