Passing JSON objects from Flask into JavaScript but special characters are not encoding

Question

I need to pass a JSON object from the back end of my flask application to be used by the client. Unfortunately, in the browser, it is not being recognised as a JSON object as the quotemarks get encoded differently.

I use json.dumps() in python and then pass this into the browser using render_template(). However, once this is passed to the browser, the object appears as so:

{&#34;0&#34;: {&#34;word_id&#34;: 5, &#34;body&#34;: &#34;man&#34;, &#34;UWL_id&#34;: 5, &#34;sentences&#34;:

Although I'm not into flask, i may have found an answer for you: You should declare it `safe`. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/3206446/9898643 — Theo, Jul 15 '18 at 19:31

Found the answer here.

It seems that jinja is able to format json in the template using the |tojson filter
