How do I turn MongoDB query into a JSON?

Question

    posts.append(p)
thejson = json.dumps({\'results\':posts})
return  HttpResponse(thejson, mimetype=\"application/j

Something even simpler which works for me on Python 3.6 using motor==1.1 pymongo==3.4.0

from bson.json_util import dumps, loads

for mongo_doc in await cursor.to_list(length=10):
    # mongo_doc is a  returned from the async mongo driver, in this acse motor / pymongo.
    # result of executing a simple find() query.

    json_string = dumps(mongo_doc)
    # serialize the  into a  

    back_to_dict = loads(json_string)
    # to unserialize, thus return the string back to a  with the original 'ObjectID' type.
