Most efficient / proper way to give Json response in Django?

I am writing a polling view in Django -- being called once per second. I'd like to avoid the effect of hammering the server (since its a small device).

Currently I'm returning this response:

return HttpResponse(json.dumps({'body':body}))

but is there a more appropriate way to do this, thus using minimal resources / features for this simple / ongoing response?

Solution

  • You could use JsonResponse,

    from django.http import JsonResponse

return JsonResponse({'body':body})

    Then, you don't have to do json.dumps,
