Object of type 'Settings' is not JSON serializable

Here is my code

django.conf.settings is not Json serializable, thought you can go throught and create dict() then give it to HttpResponse. Hope it helps! 

import json
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.conf import settings


def get_settings(request):
    context = {}
    for setting in dir(settings):
        if setting.isupper():
            context[setting] = getattr(settings, setting)

    return HttpResponse(json.dumps(context, indent=4), content_type="application/json")
