JSONField gets save as django string

Question

I have a django model as shown below:

from jsonfield import JSONField
class SCUser(User):
    address = JSONField(blank=True,null=True)

When I save json in this address, it is saved as a string. Here is the code snippet:

appuser.address = {"state":""}
appuser.save()

Now, if I try to restore appuser.address, it gives me

>>>appuser.address
>>>u'{"state":""}'
>>>appuser.save()
>>>appuser.address
>>>u'"{\\"state\\":\\"\\"}"'

And it becomes recursive. What am I missing here?

Edit: AppUser inherits from the SCUser model.

Answer 1

I ran into this problem when I used a key other than Autofield as the model’s primary key and found some problems that are still open on github related to this problem.

appuser.address = {"state":""}
appuser.save()
