8817bb2e 1r"""JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) <http://json.org> is a subset of
2JavaScript syntax (ECMA-262 3rd edition) used as a lightweight data
3interchange format.
4
5:mod:`simplejson` exposes an API familiar to users of the standard library
6:mod:`marshal` and :mod:`pickle` modules. It is the externally maintained
7version of the :mod:`json` library contained in Python 2.6, but maintains
8compatibility with Python 2.4 and Python 2.5 and (currently) has
9significant performance advantages, even without using the optional C
10extension for speedups.
11
12Encoding basic Python object hierarchies::
13
14 >>> import simplejson as json
15 >>> json.dumps(['foo', {'bar': ('baz', None, 1.0, 2)}])
16 '["foo", {"bar": ["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]'
17 >>> print json.dumps("\"foo\bar")
18 "\"foo\bar"
19 >>> print json.dumps(u'\u1234')
20 "\u1234"
21 >>> print json.dumps('\\')
22 "\\"
23 >>> print json.dumps({"c": 0, "b": 0, "a": 0}, sort_keys=True)
24 {"a": 0, "b": 0, "c": 0}
25 >>> from StringIO import StringIO
26 >>> io = StringIO()
27 >>> json.dump(['streaming API'], io)
28 >>> io.getvalue()
29 '["streaming API"]'
30
31Compact encoding::
32
33 >>> import simplejson as json
34 >>> json.dumps([1,2,3,{'4': 5, '6': 7}], separators=(',',':'))
35 '[1,2,3,{"4":5,"6":7}]'
36
37Pretty printing::
38
39 >>> import simplejson as json
40 >>> s = json.dumps({'4': 5, '6': 7}, sort_keys=True, indent=4)
41 >>> print '\n'.join([l.rstrip() for l in s.splitlines()])
42 {
43 "4": 5,
44 "6": 7
45 }
46
47Decoding JSON::
48
49 >>> import simplejson as json
50 >>> obj = [u'foo', {u'bar': [u'baz', None, 1.0, 2]}]
51 >>> json.loads('["foo", {"bar":["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]') == obj
52 True
53 >>> json.loads('"\\"foo\\bar"') == u'"foo\x08ar'
54 True
55 >>> from StringIO import StringIO
56 >>> io = StringIO('["streaming API"]')
57 >>> json.load(io)[0] == 'streaming API'
58 True
59
60Specializing JSON object decoding::
61
62 >>> import simplejson as json
63 >>> def as_complex(dct):
64 ... if '__complex__' in dct:
65 ... return complex(dct['real'], dct['imag'])
66 ... return dct
67 ...
68 >>> json.loads('{"__complex__": true, "real": 1, "imag": 2}',
69 ... object_hook=as_complex)
70 (1+2j)
71 >>> import decimal
72 >>> json.loads('1.1', parse_float=decimal.Decimal) == decimal.Decimal('1.1')
73 True
74
75Specializing JSON object encoding::
76
77 >>> import simplejson as json
78 >>> def encode_complex(obj):
79 ... if isinstance(obj, complex):
80 ... return [obj.real, obj.imag]
81 ... raise TypeError(repr(o) + " is not JSON serializable")
82 ...
83 >>> json.dumps(2 + 1j, default=encode_complex)
84 '[2.0, 1.0]'
85 >>> json.JSONEncoder(default=encode_complex).encode(2 + 1j)
86 '[2.0, 1.0]'
87 >>> ''.join(json.JSONEncoder(default=encode_complex).iterencode(2 + 1j))
88 '[2.0, 1.0]'
89
90
91Using simplejson.tool from the shell to validate and pretty-print::
92
93 $ echo '{"json":"obj"}' | python -m simplejson.tool
94 {
95 "json": "obj"
96 }
97 $ echo '{ 1.2:3.4}' | python -m simplejson.tool
98 Expecting property name: line 1 column 2 (char 2)
