# Proposal 1:

@jsonify
def monkey_function():

  if gorillas:

    # JsonResponse is a new function you'll write that will wrap this in a flask response object,
    # so @jsonify's code, as-is, will know not to do anything to it
    return JsonResponse(subtitles.json)

  else:

    # in this case @jsonify's code, as-is, will do its thing and automatically turn this into "null"
    return None

###############################
# Proposal 2:

def monkey_function():

  if gorillas:

    # not using @jsonify, so we can just return JSON
    return subtitles.json

  else:

    # manually JSONifying "None" in this case, instead of using the @jsonify wrapper
    return api.jsonify.jsonify(None)
