Creating a JSON response using Django and Python

Question

I\'m trying to convert a server side Ajax response script into a Django HttpResponse, but apparently it\'s not working.

This is the server-side script:

Answer 1

from django.http import HttpResponse
import json

class JsonResponse(HttpResponse):
    def __init__(self, content={}, mimetype=None, status=None,
             content_type='application/json'):
        super(JsonResponse, self).__init__(json.dumps(content), mimetype=mimetype,
                                           status=status, content_type=content_type)

And in the view:

resp_data = {'my_key': 'my value',}
return JsonResponse(resp_data)
