Expected result. JSON is text, if it returned a dictionary, as_json()
wouldn't be a good name!

JsonResponse is a util for turning dictionaries into JSON, if you
actually have JSON strings, you could do something like this:

  json_rsp = HttpResponse(frm.as_json(), content_type='application/json')

form.errors.as_json() returns a str - Django 1.8

[George L.]

I'm trying to return errors to an ajax call but as_json() form method 
generates a string of a dict instead of a dict. JsonResponse accepts only 
dicts and if I set safe=False, JsonResponse tries to serialize the data as 
a string, which results in a corrupted data. 

Is this a bug or expected result?
