Using JavaScript and JSON in Django

Make Django Dynamic. Connect Front-End and Back-End


 Back-End Development   
Developers collaborating at computer workstations in a modern office, reviewing JavaScript code on large monitors and demonstrating how a team uses JavaScript and JSON in a Django web project for web development.

Using JavaScript and JSON in Django is the final course in the Django specialization by the University of Michigan. It teaches you how to add interactivity and efficient data exchange to your web applications by combining Django, JavaScript, jQuery, and JSON.

 

You’ll learn how to handle browser-server communication, use AJAX to send and receive data asynchronously, and create responsive, user-friendly features without reloading pages. 

Learning Outcomes 

After finishing this course, you will be able to:

  • Write and integrate JavaScript code into Django templates 
  • Use object-oriented JavaScript for modular page behavior 
  • Manipulate DOM elements using jQuery selectors and events 
  • Structure, send, and parse JSON data between Django and the browser 
  • Build AJAX-based features that update content dynamically 
  • Combine Django views and APIs with client-side scripts for interactive web apps 

Why This Course Matters

Modern web apps rely on dynamic updates and real-time data. Django provides a powerful back end, but integrating it with JavaScript and JSON turns it into a complete interactive system.

By the end of this course, you’ll understand how front-end scripts and Django views communicate, how JSON structures are exchanged, and how to build responsive UIs that react instantly to user actions — essential skills for any full-stack developer.
