JSON Serializing Django Models with simplejson

Question

I\'d like to use simplejson to serialize a Django model. Django\'s serializer doesn\'t support dictionaries... and simplejson doesn\'t support Django Querysets. This is quit

Answer 1

based on Clement's answer, I did this to get models into JSON as well.

def toJSON(obj):
   if isinstance(obj, QuerySet):
       return simplejson.dumps(obj, cls=DjangoJSONEncoder)
   if isinstance(obj, models.Model):
       #do the same as above by making it a queryset first
       set_obj = [obj]
       set_str = simplejson.dumps(simplejson.loads(serialize('json', set_obj)))
       #eliminate brackets in the beginning and the end 
       str_obj = set_str[1:len(set_str)-2]
   return str_obj
