jsonify() serializes payload data structures into proper JSON responses formatted with `200 OK` status.
secure_filename() removes unsafe path characters (e.g. `../`) from user-submitted file names to prevent arbitrary file overwrites.
request.get_json() parses JSON formatted request bodies, returning `None` if content type is invalid.
Cookies are set on the outbound HTTP response object using response.set_cookie() .
