Return JSON response from Flask view

Question

I have a function that analyzes a CSV file with Pandas and produces a dict with summary information. I want to return the results as a response from a Flask view. How do I r

Answer 1

Flask 1.1.x

now Flask support request return with json directly, jsonify not required anymore

@app.route("/")
def index():
    return {
        "api_stuff": "values",
    }

is equivalent to

@app.route("/")
def index():
    return jsonify({
        "api_stuff": "values",
    })
