Answer 1

Try this:

class JSONListView(ListView):
    queryset = Users.objects.all()


    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        data = {}
        data["users"] = get_json_list(queryset)
        return JSONResponse(data)


def get_json_list(query_set):
    list_objects = []
    for obj in query_set:
        dict_obj = {}
        for field in obj._meta.get_fields():
            try:
                if field.many_to_many:
                    dict_obj[field.name] = get_json_list(getattr(obj, field.name).all())
                    continue
                dict_obj[field.name] = getattr(obj, field.name)
            except AttributeError:
                continue
        list_objects.append(dict_obj)
    return list_objects
