# `tojson` ()

This filter converts a value to JSON. It supports any of the types that are supported by JSON directly and the return value will be in a format that allows safe embedding in HTML. However if you want to use this value in an attribute of an element it needs to use single quotes otherwise it will generate a syntax error due to the embedded quotes.

## Examples

    <script type="text/javascript">
      var options = {{ {'foo': 'bar'}|tojson }};
    </script>

If used in attributes, single quotes are required:

    <a href="#" data-foo='{{ my_data|tojson }}'>Click here</a>
