Description

Output for the {% debug %} template tag is very close to JSON format. If this output was formatted in JSON it could be visualized in a better way with JSON presentation tools.

The {% debug %} tag outputs Python code, whose dictionary syntax is close to JSON. Changing this tag to output JSON would be backwards-incompatible.

However, it's implemented in less than 10 lines; you can easily copy it in your app and change it to output JSON.

Or just use the Django debug toolbar :)
