datetime.date(2014, 4, 25) is not JSON serializable in Django [duplicate]

Answer 1

See the Extending encoder section from the json package docs https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html

I have used this method and found it quite effective. I think this is what you are looking for.

import json
class DatetimeEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
    def default(self, obj):
        if isinstance(obj, datetime):
            return obj.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
        elif isinstance(obj, date):
            return obj.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
        # Let the base class default method raise the TypeError
        return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)

json.dumps(dict,cls=DatetimeEncoder)
