Generic view for serialized queryset

[dchandek]

FWIW, I didn't see anything like this in the distribution, and it
might be useful ...

def serialized(request, queryset, format, mimetype=None):
"""
Serialize queryset in specified format and return via HTTP
Standard mimetype for format can be overridden with provided value
"""
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.core import serializers
content = serializers.serialize(format, queryset)
if mimetype is None:
if format == 'xml':
mimetype = 'application/xml'
elif format == 'json':
# http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt
mimetype == 'application/json'
return HttpResponse(content=content, mimetype=mimetype)

Hi dchandek,

This looks like an interesting idea - could you create a new ticket
for it at djangoproject.com, so it doesn't get lost?

Thanks,
Simon G.
