Elasticsearch-dsl-py: How to return search results as JSON response of Restful service?

[hturksoy]

Is there any way to JSON serialize the search result (=Response object) and return as response of my Restful Django viewset endpoint? Since Response and Result objects' are invalidated JSON representation of objects (in __repr__ method) by adding some extra strings, it says Response object is not JSON serializable.

You can use the to_dict method on those objects to get the raw dictionary that is json serializable.
