Python json boolean to lowercase string?

The way to do this is to not use templates. Use the json module, as so: import json def my_view(request): # ... json_d = dict(...) return json. Dumps(json_d) My preferred way is to write a decorator, and return a dict def json_view(f): def wrapped_f(*args, **kwargs): return json.

Dumps(f(*args, **kwargs)) wrapped_f. Original = f # for unit testing return wrapped_f @json_view my_view(request): # ... return dict(...).

Thanks! For now I'm using {{variable_name|lower}}, but when I hit that wall (strings with quotes in them etc), I will refactor to use the json module. – btk Sep 7 at 15:23.

Well, then serialise to JSON using json, not some custom thingy. Import json print json. Dumps({'foo': True}) # => {"foo": true}.

The better way would be to avoid generating JSON by hand, or via Django templates, and instead use a proper JSON library. In Python 2.6+ this is as simple as import json. In older Pythons, you'll need to pip install simplejson and import simplejson as json.It can be tough to generate proper JSON on your own—your experience with manually serializing bool values is just the beginning.

For another example, what about properly escaping strings with nested quotes?

Django ships with a version of the simplejson module, and if json module is available, then it it's used transparently. Just import it and you get with the best available option: from django. Utils import simplejson or from django.

Use the json module: >>> import json >>> json. Dump(dict(value=True), sys. Stdout) {"value": true}.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
