django queryset populate a javascript array

Question

I need to show inside a calendar the dates that are not available.

I have a queryset that return the unavailable Dates.

#views.py
rental_reservations = RentalReservation.objects.filter(post=post_id)

#models.py
class RentalReservation(TimeStampedModel):
    post = models.ForeignKey('posts.Post', verbose_name="Condo Number")
    start_date = models.DateField()
    end_date = models.DateField()

But I can't figure out how to convert the queryset result into the jquery plugin that is looking for the following array:

var unavailableDates = [
    {start: '2015-09-11', end: '2015-09-15'},
    {start: '2015-09-15', end: '2015-09-23'},
    {start: '2015-10-01', end: '2015-10-07'}
];

User django queryset values():

rental_reservations = rental_reservations.values('start_date', 'end_date')

Then you need to return django's JsonResponse to the front end, then you should be able to get what you want.

Django doc about JsonResponse.

Django doc about values().
