[Django]-Converting only one entry of django model object to json

✅

Here is the way to do it:

from django.core import serializers

def return_only_one_row():
    return HttpResponse(serializers.serialize("json", Y.objects.filter(pk=1)))

Using filter() instead of get() returns the proper JSON response.

Another way to do it would be to use Python lists. You can wrap the query in [ ] to turn the resulting response to a list and then serialize it to JSON. Example follows:

def return_only_one_row():
    return HttpResponse(serializers.serialize("json", [Y.objects.get(pk=1)]))
