I think your input is invalid json. see --48940923NODERESLTER3890457293, not key-value format.

It is not JSON format it is in the form of multipart/form-data format which is received from post request from another server.

There's no built-in support for forms in Elli. As you see, it just gives you the body and it's up to you to make the decision of how to parse it.

Here's a library for parsing multipart forms: https://github.com/mme/erlmultipart I've never used this myself and don't know how complete it is, but maybe it's worth a shot.
