how to create an account except the way of using cleos?

Question

guys!I am a beginner of eos.
As it is said on the title, i want to create accounts by the way other than using cleos.

I have traversed the doc of eos, but not seen the interface to create an account directly.
I have tried the way by using RPC API abi_json_to_bin,sending json data like:

{ "code": "eosio",
"action": "newaccount",
"args": {
"creator": "eosio",
"name": "acctest",
"owner": {
"threshold": 1,
"keys": [
{
"key": "EOS4ufZoTw95yHJS6Cyz3h4w5a2W4cyYpMYRnd7gbFZuCfPxUFS6r",
"weight": 1
}
],
"accounts": [],
"waits": []
}, "active": { "threshold": 1, "keys": [
{
"key": "EOS4ufZoTw95yHJS6Cyz3h4w5a2W4cyYpMYRnd7gbFZuCfPxUFS6r",
"weight": 1
}
],
"accounts": [],
"waits": []
}
}
}

and got response like:

{"code":500,"message":"Internal Service Error","error":{"code":4,"name":"parse_error_exception","what":"Parse Error","details":[{"message":"Expected '\"' but read 'E'","file":"json.cpp","line_number":100,"method":"stringFromStream"},{"message":"while parsing token ''","file":"json.cpp","line_number":123,"method":"stringFromStream"},{"message":"Error parsing object","file":"json.cpp","line_number":218,"method":"objectFromStream"},{"message":"Attempting to parse array []","file":"json.cpp","line_number":249,"method":"arrayFromStream"},{"message":"Error parsing object","file":"json.cpp","line_number":218,"method":"objectFromStream"},{"message":"Error parsing object","file":"json.cpp","line_number":218,"method":"objectFromStream"},{"message":"Error parsing object","file":"json.cpp","line_number":218,"method":"objectFromStream"},{"message":"","file":"json.cpp","line_number":460,"method":"from_string"}]}}

have spent a couple of days on this single question,hope to solve it as soon as possible.
thanks!

Seems like there is an error in your request.

abi_json_to_bin is needed to convert action data from json format to binary hex format, which will be used for the data field in push_transaction.

Try this and check the Note section below.
