Really basic AJAXResponseMixin for being used as a Mixin on Django's Class Based Views

gistfile1.py

class AJAXResponseMixin(object):

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        response = super(AJAXResponseMixin, self).get(request, *args, **kwargs)
        if self.request.is_ajax():
            return HttpResponse(json.dumps({
                'response': response.status_code,
                'location': response['Location'],
                # whatever else you want to return
            }), mimetype='application/json')
        else:
            return response
