this is the decoded json:

You don't need to do any further pre-processing in Python before sending the dictionary to Django (beyond what you have already done; using simplejson to parse the JSON string into a dictionary). Django's templating system is very good at dealing with dictionaries and lists.

I will assume you have passed the dictionary to Django in a variable called obj.

You should be able to access each item in the Result part of the dictionary using a for loop:

{% for result in obj.Result %}
    
{{ result.Url }}, {{ result.PlaylistID }}, {{ result.Name }}
{% endfor %}

For example, will place the results in a bulleted list, with the Url, Playlist and Name in a comma-separated list.
