Question

I have a variable that contains JSON I need to pass into a template. I’m defining it as a variable and then passing it into the template successfully. However, I need the format to replace the quotes with ", but is replacing with '. This is causing issues with the service that I”m passing this to.

image_upload_params = 
{
  "auth": {
    "key": "xxx"
  },
  "template_id": "xxx",
  "redirect_url": "url-here",
}

Here is how it’s coming up in the template:

{'redirect_url': 'url-here', 'template_id': 'xxx', 'auth': {'key': 'xxx'}}

Any idea how to get it to use " instead?

Use SafeString:

from django.utils.safestring import SafeString

def view(request):
    ...
    return render(request, 'template.html', {'upload_params': SafeString(json_string)})
