Re: Doubt regarding JSON/SQL in Django

Thank you all for your prompt replies :)

> IIUC you can't return the query (as a python object) to the client. You must convert the data on it to some format (json, xml, ...) that the client understands. That will depend on the libraries that you use in the client side.

So, if I don't use JSON as storage and only as a format to send data
to client ( All the parsing will be done client side ), is it better
than using {{ task.name }}, {{ task.start_date }} ? ( Sorry to ask
this again, but i haven't got it )

What if all of my logic is on the client side, and I just send an
encoded JSON file to the server only for storage ? Your single model
option is looking better than this, but won't query time take longer
as the no. of users increase ? ( Sorry if this is abstract, but my
MySQL level is basic )
