Return JSON
Python example
def handleRequest(request):
# defines a dictionary object for the JSON content
json_str = {
"message": "Python Worker hello world!"
}
# a new Response
return __new__(Response(json_str, {
'headers' : { 'content-type' : 'application/json;charset=UTF-8' }
}))
# call the Worker runtime
addEventListener('fetch', (lambda event: event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request))))
Note
When running this Worker I ran into the following error:
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 2 of the JSON data
This was fixed by updating the index.py file.
I added a JSON.stringify(json_str) when returning the Response object, this converts a JavaScript value to a JSON string.
def handleRequest(request):
# defines a dictionary object for the JSON content
json_str = {
"message": "Python Worker hello world!"
}
# a new Response
return __new__(Response(JSON.stringify(json_str), {
'headers' : { 'content-type' : 'application/json;charset=UTF-8' }
}))
# call the Worker runtime
addEventListener('fetch', (lambda event: event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request))))
This returns.
{
"message":"Python Worker hello world!"
}
