How to iterate json dictionary in django template?

Question

I am new in django and now i am trying to iterate one json dictionary in html page. I am using the {{context}} for displaying the dictionary which is passed from the view and context is the variable used to store the dictionary in render_to_response. now it is diplayed like

[
  {
    "pk": 5, 
    "model": "Auction.newauction", 
    "fields": {
      "username": 1, 
      "category": "furniture", 
      "description": "Made of Wood", 
      "end_date": "2012-05-01 11:00:00", 
      "start_price": "100", 
      "title": "Table", 
      "start_date": "2012-03-04 11:24:11"
    }
  }
]

How I can iterate this dictionary to display like

username  : 1
category  : Furniture

Can anyone please help me

You shouldn't "convert it to JSON" unless you're planning to have your logic in Javascript. Instead, in your template you could iterate over the array in a for loop and traverse the dictionary to the username and category keys:

{% for c in context %}
  <div>username: {{ c.fields.username }}</div>
  <div>category: {{ c.fields.category }}</div>
{% endfor %}
