to_json

• Module: mod_base

Display any value as in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).

For example:

{{ [1,2,3]|to_json }}

Converts this list to a valid JSON UTF-8 encoded string which can be directly used in JavaScript calls.

The input value may be in a different encoding, given as argument to the to_json filter:

{{ value|to_json:"latin-1" }}

Currently, there are two encodings supported:

• UTF-8 (utf-8) i.e. no encoding conversion, which is the default when no argument is given.
• ISO 8859-1 (latin-1).
