It introduces decorators like `@as_json` and functions like `json_response()` that simplify returning JSON from routes, and adds a `JsonError` exception for structured error responses. It also extends JSON encoding to handle types like datetime objects that Flask's default encoder does not support.\n\nThe package depends only on Flask and installs with no additional system requirements. However, it has been abandoned since mid-2023 with no active maintenance, meaning bugs and compatibility issues with newer Flask or Python versions will not be addressed by the maintainer.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are working with an existing Flask codebase already using Flask-JSON or need its specific convenience features\u2014the code is stable and has no known vulnerabilities. No, if starting a new project: the package is abandoned and unsupported, and modern Flask has improved its own JSON handling, making this extension less necessary. Evaluate whether Flask's native support or a maintained alternative better fits your needs."},"id":"flask-json","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-json","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-json.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-json/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-05-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Flask-JSON","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Better JSON support for Flask"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":82620,"position":14152,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.0"}
