 There are numerous Python frameworks (Django, Flask, Tornado, etc.) with specific
 capabilities to simplify integration with Javascript frontend frameworks (React, Angular,
 VueJS, etc.). But facilitating that with Highcharts has historically been very difficult.
 Part of this difficulty is because the Highcharts JavaScript suite - while supporting JSON as a
-serialization/deserialization format - leverages
-JavaScript object literals to expose the

 full power and interactivity of its data visualizations. And while it's easy to serialize
 JSON from Python, serializing and deserializing to/from JavaScript object literal notation
