Django: Serializing models in a nested data structure?
- by Rosarch
It's easy to serialize models in an iterable:
def _toJSON(models):
return serializers.serialize("json", models, ensure_ascii=False)
What about when I have something more complicated:
[
(Model_A_1, [Model_B_1, Model_B_2, Model_B_3]),
(Model_A_2, [Model_B_3, Model_B_4, Model_B_5, Model_B_59]),
(Model_A_3, [Model_B_6, Model_B_7]),
]
I tried serializing each model as it was added to the structure, then serializing the whole thing with simplejson.dumps, but that causes the JSON defining each model to be escaped.
Is there a better way to do this?
