you can also use simplejson and return data the way you want it. It isn't able to serialize date or time objects natively but this still covers 99% of the cases.
from django.utils import simplejson from django.http import HttpResponse def view(request): return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps([dict(monday=o.monday.name) for o in week.objects.all()]), mimetype="text/javascript") this method is a little more flexible and will be very useful if you have objects with more than one foreign key that you want to send back.
