Accessing dictionary by key in Django template
The Django template language supports looking up dictionary keys as follows:
{{ json.key1 }}See the template docs on variables and lookups.
The template language does not provide a way to display json[key], where key is a variable. You can write a template filter to do this, as suggested in the answers to this Stack Overflow question.
As @Alasdair suggests, you can use a template filter. In your templatetags directory, create the following file dict_key.py:
from django.template.defaultfilters import register@register.filter(name='dict_key')def dict_key(d, k): '''Returns the given key from a dictionary.''' return d[k]Then, in your HTML, you can write:
{% for k in json.items %} <li>{{ k }} - {{ json.items|dict_key:k }}</li>{% endfor %}
