Yes, I probably should validate the input that way, but what I'm
concerned with at the moment is how the JSON details make it to the
form object in the first place.
I probably got overwhelmed reading the API Docs and thought there has
to be a more elegant way to handle the JSON -> Form Object part than
just writing a ``post`` method.

As in validating the ModelForms for each object and choose the one
that validates successfully if any?
