Django has an escapejs filter so if you're using a template to
generate json you'd be safer doing, e.g.:
"first_name":"{{ one_member.first_name|escapejs }}"
That way if someone sticks something untoward (like a double quote) in
your first_name or last_name fields it won't break things :).
For the rolling up of HTML and JSON I personally would use a template
for the HTML but I wouldn't bother with it for the JSON as typically
the stuff you want to chuck back in JSON would be most naturally (I
think) built up as a python data structure (e.g. dict of values) which
you use simplejson (which is included with Django) to convert into
json.
from django.utils import simplejson
returnData={
'success':1,
'htmlData:template.render(context),
'someListData':['Item 1','Item 2']
}
return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(data),mimetype='text/plain)
That way simplejson'll take care of sorting everything out :). If you
want to dump out django objects as json too then look at the
documentation for serialising django objects.
