Return JSON from Azure Functions with Python

I was working on an Azure Function for an open source wildlife IoT project and came across a lack of documentation in docs.microsoft.com. I had successfully returned HTTP content from my Azure function, but wasn’t sure how to get it to return JSON so I could interpret it elsewhere. In this case I’m storing latitute (lat) and longitude (lon) and returning them in JSON content:

Here’s the block:

#at the top

import json

#to return

return func.HttpResponse (

json.dumps({

‘lat’: lat,

‘lon’: lon

})

)

Enjoy!
