django: control json serialization

Question

Is there a way to control json serialization in django? Simple code below will return serialized object in json:

co = Collection.objects.all()
c = serializer         


        

Answer 1

I would suggest you use the json library to encode your data, instead of just constructing the json-like string yourself. The code above doesn't seem to handle escaping properly, for one thing. And there's not much to gain by writing your own serializer (except for bugs).
