Django-tastypie. Output in JSON to the browser by default

Question

I see 'Sorry, not implemented yet. Please append "?format=json" to your URL.'. I need always append string "?format=json". Can I make a output in JSON by default?

Regards, Vitaliy

Answer 1

From the tastypie cookbook, in order to change the default format, you need to override the determine_format() method on your ModelResource:

class MyResource(ModelResource):     ....     def determine_format(self, request):         return 'application/json' 

The above link demonstrates alternative methods of determining output format.

Also, I don't think a valid answer is essentially "You don't need this".

Edit

It appears GregM's answer is probably (I haven't tested it) the most correct with the new version of TastyPie, as per documentation putting the following in your settings.py will restrict the serialization output to json.

 TASTYPIE_DEFAULT_FORMATS = ['json']
