In Django, How Do I Get Escaped Html In Httpresponse?

Post a Comment
The following code in one of my views returns unescaped html string which cannot be parsed in frontend since it is an Ajax request. return render_to_response(template_name, {

Solution 1:

Lakshman Prasad's answer is technically correct, but a bit cumbersome. A better way to escape text would be (as suggested in a comment by miku above):

from django.utils.htmlimportescapereturnHttpResponse(escape(some_string))

Solution 2:

To return just plain HTML to the client from within your view, use django.http.HttpResponse

from django.http import HttpResponse

defview(request)
    # Do stuff here
    output = '''
    <html>
        <head>
            <title>Hey mum!</title>
        </head>
    </html>'''return HttpResponse(output)

To prevent the Django templating system from escaping HTML in a template, just use the |safe filter:

response = "<img src='cats.png'/>"# Meanwhile, in the template...
<div id="response">
    {{response|safe}}
</div>

Solution 3:

It should escape by default.

But, if you want to, you can explicitly force escaping.

from django.utils.safestring import mark_for_escaping
return HttpResponse(mark_for_escaping(loader.render_to_string(""""Render Response Syntax"""))
