moarjson
Install
pip install moarjson
Basic usage
import moarjson as json
from datetime import datetime
json.dumps(datetime.now()) # Fails
# Tell json to convert datetime objects to str first
json.register(datetime, str)
json.dumps(datetime.now()) # Successmoarjson keeps track of all the types you want to encode to json.
import moarjson as json
from datetime import datetime
# Also available as decorator
@json.register(datetime)
def convert_datetime(obj):
return obj.strftime(format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')
# OR with lambda
json.register(datetime, lambda x: x.strftime(format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'))Django models
Django user model field:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
@json.register(User)
def convert_user(user):
return {
'id': user.id,
'username': user.username
}
def user_view(request):
# Json encoded user object
json_dump = json.dumps(User.objects.get(pk=1))
return HttpResponse(json_dump, content_type='application/json')User.objects.all() is an iterable, so register iterables that first. Convert any iterable to a list::
import collections
json.register(collections.Iterable, list)
def user_list_view(request):
# List of users
json_dump = json.dumps(User.objects.all())
return HttpResponse(json_dump, content_type='application/json')Contribution
