How do I `jsonify` a list in Flask? [duplicate]

You can’t but you can do it anyway like this. I needed this for jQuery-File-Upload

import json
# get this object
from flask import Response

#example data:

    js = [ { "name" : filename, "size" : st.st_size , 
        "url" : url_for('show', filename=filename)} ]
#then do this
    return Response(json.dumps(js),  mimetype="application/json")
