Question

When I try to send an array to Django via Ajax (jQuery)

JavaScript code:

new_data = ['a','b','c','d','e'];
$.get('/pythonPage/', {'data': new_data},function(data){});

and I try to read the array:

Python:

request.GET.get("data[]")

I get only the last array value:

'e'

What am I doing wrong?

You’re looking for the QueryDict‘s getlist

request.GET.getlist('data')
request.GET.getlist('data[]')
request.GET.getlist('etc')
