I am learning Django and was frustrated by creating a json field in a model. I was trying to create a json field in my model but got error: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘JSONField’. Here is my class in models.py:
class Question(models.Model): question_text = models.JSONField(max_length=200) pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
I am using django 1.9.8 and postgresql 9.2.13. I need the table created in postgresql db has a column with JSON type. How can I do that in the model class? Thank you!

There’s no JSONField
in models. But there’s a handy jsonfield
package available to use JSONField
in Django models. To install the package, do:
pip install jsonfield
Once installed, do:
from jsonfield import JSONField from django.db import models class Question(models.Model): question_text = JSONField(max_length=200) pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
