Robotframework POST request with REST API.

Folks,

I have spent recently 2 days to get my things done. Scenario is like i need to simply login with json data (Parameters email & password) in post request. But challenge is how and with which library ? What should be correct format of passing parameters to post request ? .... and so on.

I have tried with 2 libraries and searched a lot to get my things done but not got any satisfactory response.

Finally i did it and share it here so that anyone can be benefited from this.
