A simple monkey patch that makes using Django and JSON a bit easier. Install `django_json_widget` first.

django-monkeypatch-json.py

from django.contrib.postgres.fields.jsonb import JSONField
from django.contrib.postgres.forms.jsonb import JSONField as JSONFormField
from django_json_widget.widgets import JSONEditorWidget
from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder

JSONFormField.widget = JSONEditorWidget


def init_jsonfield(self, verbose_name=None, name=None, encoder=DjangoJSONEncoder, **kwargs):
    if encoder and not callable(encoder):
        raise ValueError("The encoder parameter must be a callable object.")
    self.encoder = encoder
    super(JSONField, self).__init__(verbose_name, name, **kwargs)


JSONField.__init__ = init_jsonfield
