How to save a django model into json file

I would like to save a Django model into a json file into a specific directory. How can I do that? My code is below in views.py. 

def JSON(request):
with open(r'C:\Users\Savas\Desktop\DOCUMENTS\file.json', "w") as out:
    mast_point = serializers.serialize("json", Poi.objects.all())
    out.write(mast_point)

As of version 1.1 and greater, the Django dumpdata management command allows you to dump data from individual tables:

./manage.py dumpdata myapp2.my_model > fixtures/file_name.json

Good morning!

did you look at the documentation for this? :)

Additionally i would suggest that you indent you code like the following:

from django.core import serializers
from .models import yourmodel
from django.http import HttpResponse

def example(request):
    objects = yourmodel.objects.all()
    with open(r'...your path...\file.json', "w") as out:
        mast_point = serializers.serialize("json", objects)
        out.write(mast_point)
    template = loader.get_template('some_template.html')
    context = {'object': objects}
    return HttpResponse(template.render(context, request))

I just tried this code snippet and it worked in my sample django application, of course you have to adapt this snippet a little bit :)
