title: Django: Changing the date format from JSON data
body: <p>I'm currently trying to teach myself Django and I'm a little confused on how to modify data from a web API.</p>
  
  <p>For example I request an api with a url:</p>
  
  <pre><code>api.example.com/events?location=....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I get JSON data</p>
  
  <pre><code>{'data':
    [
      {
         'name': 'blah'
         'date': '2019-03-22'
      },
      {
         'name': 'blah2'
         'date': '2019-03-23'
      },
    ]
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The date is outputted as "yyyy-mm-dd" and I want to change it to "mm dd yyyy". Would I have to put the JSON data into a model? If so, how would I go about doing so?</p>
