TypeError: Python object is not JSON serializable

Question

I am trying to encode an object into json using json.dumps() in Django, however when I pass in a python object, it raises this error.

TypeError         


        

Answer 1

object is not one of those types. Dictionaries, lists (maybe tuples), floats, strings, integers, bools, and None I believe are the types that Python can serialize into JSON natively.

However, it looks like Django has some built-in serializers that may work for you.

I'm guessing that

from django.core import serializers
data = serializers.serialize("json", OrgInvite.objects.filter(token=100))

should work for you
