I have a function that analyzes a CSV file with Pandas and produces a dict with summary information. I want to return the results as a response from a Flask view. How do I return a JSON response?
@app.route("/summary")
def summary():
d = make_summary()
# send it back as json

As of Flask 1.1.0 a view can directly return a Python dict and Flask will call
jsonify
automatically.If your Flask version is less than 1.1.0 or to return a different JSON-serializable object, import and use
jsonify
.
