    An HTTP response class that consumes data to be serialized to JSON.

    :param data: Data to be dumped into json. By default only ``dict`` objects
      are allowed to be passed due to a security flaw before EcmaScript 5. See
      the ``safe`` parameter for more information.
    :param encoder: Should be a json encoder class. Defaults to
      ``django.core.serializers.json.DjangoJSONEncoder``.
    :param safe: Controls if only ``dict`` objects may be serialized. Defaults
      to ``True``.
    :param json_dumps_params: A dictionary of kwargs passed to json.dumps().
