Example of returning a Django QuerySet as a JSON response (Django 1.7)
# Get the objects from the database
rawData = Launch.objects.all()
# Create array
json_res = []
# Iterate over results and add to array
for record in rawData:
json_obj = dict(name = record.name)
json_res.append(json_obj)
# Return the results
return HttpResponse(json.dumps(json_res), content_type='application/json')
