How do I JSON serialize a Python dictionary?

Question

I\'m trying to make a Django function for JSON serializing something and returning it in an HttpResponse object.

def json_response(something):
          


        

Answer 1

What about a JsonResponse Class that extends HttpResponse:

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.utils import simplejson

class JsonResponse(HttpResponse):
    def __init__(self, data):
        content = simplejson.dumps(data,
                                   indent=2,
                                   ensure_ascii=False)
        super(JsonResponse, self).__init__(content=content,
                                           mimetype='application/json; charset=utf8')
