django: control json serialization

Question

Is there a way to control json serialization in django? Simple code below will return serialized object in json:

co = Collection.objects.all()
c = serializer         


        

Answer 1

def view( request):
    m_all = list(model.objects.all().values())

    return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(m_all))

This should solve the problem. Using values() and converting to list should produce the result you wanted.
