Django serializer for one object

Question

I\'m trying to figure out a way to serialize some Django model object to JSON format, something like:

j = Job.objects.get(pk=1)
#############################         


        

Answer 1

How about just massaging what you get back from serializers.serialize? It is not that hard to trim off the square brackets from the front and back of the result.

job = Job.objects.get(pk=1)
array_result = serializers.serialize('json', [job], ensure_ascii=False)
just_object_result = array_result[1:-1]

Not a fancy answer but it will give you just the object in json notation.
