从服务器端Python将JSON对象获取到客户端Django模板中

Question

Server-side, in Python, I'm returning a JSON object that looks like this:

 contactAddr = {'name' : name, …}
 contactAddrJSON = json.dumps(contactAddr)

Client side, I'm using Django's template engine to dump that string into a javascript variable, and turning that into an object like this:

 var _myAddressObj = '{{ contactAddrJSON|safe}}';
 var adrObj = $.parseJSON(_myAddressObj);

This worked fine, until I got something where name had a single-quote in it. I've spent the past couple of hours trying to figure out all these levels of string escapes to get the damn object into Javascript, but to no avail. I just need it to be robust to single and double quotes. Can someone enlighten me? My brain is smoking.

You can skip the parsing process. Most JSON data is actually syntactically valid JavaScript, so you can put it directly into the source:

var adrObj = {{ contactAddrJSON|safe}};
