This is working for me  Which version of Flask are you using   from flask import jsonify        app route   test json   def test json        list                   a   1   b   2                 a   5   b   10                   return jsonify results   list

Flask s jsonify   method now serializes top-level arrays as of this commit  available in Flask 0 11 onwards    For convenience  you can either pass in a Python list  jsonify  1 2 3   Or pass in a series of args  jsonify 1 2 3   Both will be serialized to a JSON top-level array   1 2 3   Details here  http   flask pocoo org docs dev api  flask json jsonify

jsonify prevents you from doing this in Flask 0 10 and lower for security reasons   To do it anyway  just use json dumps in the Python standard library   http   docs python org library json html json dumps

josonify works  but if you intend to just pass an array without the  results  key  you can use json library from python  The following conversion works for me     import json    app route   test json    def test json     list               a   1   b   2             a   5   b   10            return json dumps list

If you are searching literally the way to return a JSON list in flask and you are completly sure that your variable is a list then the easy way is  where bin is a list of 1 s and 0 s       return jsonify   ans  bin    201   Finally  in your client you will obtain something like     ans     0 0  0 0  1 0  1 0  0 0
