First import this:

from django.http import HttpResponse

If you have the JSON already:

def your_method(request):
    your_json = [{'key1': value, 'key2': value}]

If you get the JSON from another HTTP request:

def your_method(request):
    response = request.get('https://www.example.com/get/json')
    return HttpResponse(response, 'application/json')
