Hi All,

As per my understanding OAuth 2(RFC6749) doesn't mandate any specific media
type to be used in the access token request. The spec implies application/x-
www-form-urlencoded should be used. Since the media type application/json is
very popular and widely used now, any thoughts on referencing the use of
this as well for access token requests?

Best Regards,
Janak Amarasena
