How do I turn MongoDB query into a JSON?

Question

for p in db.collection.find({\"test_set\":\"abc\"}):
    posts.append(p)
thejson = json.dumps({\'results\':posts})
return  HttpResponse(thejson, mimetype=\"application/j         


        

Answer 1

The json module won't work due to things like the ObjectID.

Luckily PyMongo provides json_util which ...

... allow[s] for specialized encoding and decoding of BSON documents into Mongo Extended JSON's Strict mode. This lets you encode / decode BSON documents to JSON even when they use special BSON types.
