# JSON Compatible Encoder

There are some cases where you might need to convert a data type (like a Pydantic model) to something compatible with JSON (like a `dict`, `list`, etc).

For example, if you need to store it in a database.

For that, **FastAPI** provides a `jsonable_encoder()` function.

## Using the `jsonable_encoder`

Let's imagine that you have a database `fake_db` that only receives JSON compatible data.

@app.put("/items/{id}")
def update_item(id: str, item: Item):
    json_compatible_item_data = jsonable_encoder(item)

Par défaut, **FastAPI** convertirait automatiquement cette valeur de retour en JSON en utilisant le `jsonable_encoder` expliqué dans [JSON Compatible Encoder](../tutorial/encoder.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

Ensuite, en arrière-plan, il mettra ces données JSON-compatible (par exemple un `dict`) à l'intérieur d'un `JSONResponse` qui sera utilisé pour envoyer la réponse au client.

app = FastAPI()


@app.put("/items/{id}")
def update_item(id: str, item: Item):
    json_compatible_item_data = jsonable_encoder(item)

By default, **FastAPI** would automatically convert that return value to JSON using the `jsonable_encoder` explained in [JSON Compatible Encoder](../tutorial/encoder.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

Then, behind the scenes, it would put that JSON-compatible data (e.g. a `dict`) inside of a `JSONResponse` that would be used to send the response to the client.
