Answer 1

To send a datetime.datetime object in serialized form from Python using JSON and deserialize in JavaScript using JSON. You can add the 'default' parameter to json.dumps to handle this:

date_handler = lambda obj:(

obj.isoformat()

if isinstance(obj, (datetime.datetime, datetime.date))

else None

)

json.dumps(datetime.datetime.now(), default=date_handler)
