flask ajax json,python flask with json

0) Do not use uppercase for vars. Uppercase is always for constants.

1) Use routes with "/" at the end to avoid additional redirects which flask does:

@app.route('/user_input/', methods = ['POST'])

2) Use the same route and the same function to get what you need:

from flask import Flask, request, render_template, jsonify

def json_response(status_code, data):

res = jsonify(data)

res.status_code = status_code

return res

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/user_input/', methods=["GET", "POST"])

def user_input():

if request.method == "GET":

return render_template('user-input.html')

else:

python_dictionary = {'bookName': request.form.get('Book_Name'),

'page': request.form.get('Page'),

'text': request.form.get('Text'),

'topic': request.form.get('Topic')}

return json_response(200, python_dictionary)

app.run()

3) And yes, you don't need to use json.dumps(pythonDictionary) before passing dictionary to jsonify

4) Consider to use request.form.get('key') rather than request.form['key'] because get() function returns None if there is no such key:value instead of raising key error exception.
