django-rest-framework: How Do I Serialize a Field That Already Contains JSON?

Question

I am pretty new to the django-rest-framework, so could use some help.

I have an object with a TextField that is a string containing JSON.

I\'m using django-r

You can simply decode the json into python object:

json_obj = json.loads(model.json_text)

Once you serialize your object, replace this field with the decoded object:

data = serializer.data
data["field"] = json_obj
return Response(data)
