It's nice to be able to quickly make Python lists and dictionaries into
JSON. The normal way of doing this is to dump the data structure as JSON
in the view and then outputting the JSON within a script tag in the
template, remembering to pipe it through safe. This little addition to
Django would streamline that process.
It lets you do this:
{{{
<script>
var data = {{ data|json }};
</script>
}}}
Instead of:
{{{
views.py:
from django.utils import simplejson
def home(request):
data = {'hello: ['world', 'universe']}
return render_to_response("home.html", {
'data': simplejson.dumps(data),
}, context_instance=get_context(request))
home.html:
<script>
var data = {{ data|safe }};
</script>
