If you do this just for unintrusive AJAX functionality you can simply
use HttpRequest.is_ajax()
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest.is_ajax
if request.is_ajax():
# return data serialized to JSON or XML
else:
# render data in HTML template
I have a piece of middleware which assigns the right MIME type based
on URL extension, then I have templates for XML, JSON and HTML. My
view function simply gets the required context objects, then passes it
to the appropriate template.
This could probably be generified to make it more reusable.
Why not?
You can simply specify mimetype in HttpResponse object
urls.py
(r'^articles.xml/$', my_view_function, {'format': 'xml'}),
(r'^articles.html/$', my_view_function, {'format': 'html'}),
views.py
def my_view_function(request, format='json'):
if format == 'xml':
mimetype = '.'
Hello,
What is the best Django-way to create multiple data formats for one
view as in Ruby On Rails?
For example, "articles.json" and "articles.xml" will serialize
response object to json or xml representation, and articles.html will
render to articles.html templ
