notable exception of double quoted attributes. In that case single
quote your attributes or HTML escape it in addition.

filter. Alternatively use ``|tojson|forceescape``.

"""This function wraps :func:`dumps` to add a few enhancements that make
life easier. It turns the JSON output into a :class:`~flask.Response`
object with the :mimetype:`application/json` mimetype. For convenience, it
also converts multiple arguments into an array or multiple keyword arguments
into a dict. This means that both ``jsonify(1,2,3)`` and
``jsonify([1,2,3])`` serialize to ``[1,2,3]``.
For clarity, the JSON serialization behavior has the following differences
from :func:`dumps`:
1. Single argument: Passed straight through to :func:`dumps`.
2. Multiple arguments: Converted to an array before being passed to
:func:`dumps`.
3. Multiple keyword arguments: Converted to a dict before being passed to
:func:`dumps`.
4. Both args and kwargs: Behavior undefined and will throw an exception.
Example usage::
from flask import jsonify
@app.route('/_get_current_user')
def get_current_user():
return jsonify(username=g.user.username,
email=g.user.email,
id=g.user.id)

{
"username": "admin",
"email": "admin@localhost",
"id": 42
}
.. versionchanged:: 0.11
Added support for serializing top-level arrays. This introduces a
security risk in ancient browsers. See :ref:`json-security` for details.
This function's response will be pretty printed if the
``JSONIFY_PRETTYPRINT_REGULAR`` config parameter is set to True or the
Flask app is running in debug mode. Compressed (not pretty) formatting
currently means no indents and no spaces after separators.
