Importerror: cannot import name jsonfield

This is an extremely common error. We all do it in order to use a different set of syntax with various versions. Also, why do we make this error when we all get our code references from blogs and technical communities on the internet, and the author provides the solutions by mentioning the version type?. In any case, we’ll look at how to fix this problem in the simplest way possible in this article.

Root Cause

According to Django’s official documentation, we can only use the JSON field in versions 3.1 and up. However, if you keep the version below 3.1, you will receive an error.

Solution

To resolve this issue, we must upgrade this django package to the most recent version or any version that is 3.1 or higher. Let’s see what we can do.

pip install Django

Or

pip install Django==version( more that 3.1 )

Another options for fix

Option 1

There may be other options for upgrading the package, such as conda. We can do the same thing-

conda install -c anaconda django

Option 2

To resolve this error, another option is to use the extension. Django-jsonfield is the extension. Using the pip package manager, we can install this extension on top of it. Installing the django-jsonfield package is as simple as running the following command.

pip install django-jsonfield

It will update the django-jsonfield package to the most recent version. By mentioning the same, we can also select and become version-specific.

pip install django-jsonfield==version

Actually, Django is a Python web framework where we define database layers using models. In the Python Model View Controller framework architecture, this is a necessity.
