[Anusha Kommineni]

    I am getting below error.Can anyone help me?

TypeError: datetime.datetime(2018, 2, 12, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>) is not JSON serializable

Hi Anusha,

It seems you're trying to generate a JSON of some object/dictionary with a Datetime in it. Datetimes are not serializable 'cause there is no date/time representation in JSON (maybe epoch, but that's not the default).

You can use unix timestamp, It's json serializable and can be converted to a datetime object. If I am not wrong you were trying to store it in a session? try this.

import time

timestamp=time.time()

request.session['current time']= timestamp

import datetime

datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(request.session['current time'])

The error means what it says; there is no default way of serializing a datetime into JSON. You can use the DjangoJSONEncoder, which does allow serializing datetimes:
