json -- JSON encoding and decoding#

json

|see_cpython_module| python:json.

This modules allows to convert between Python objects and the JSON data format.

Functions#

dump(obj, stream, separators=None)

Serialise obj to a JSON string, writing it to the given stream.

If specified, separators should be an (item_separator, key_separator) tuple. The default is (', ', ': '). To get the most compact JSON representation, you should specify (',', ':') to eliminate whitespace.

dumps(obj, separators=None)

Return obj represented as a JSON string.

The arguments have the same meaning as in dump.

load(stream)

Parse the given stream, interpreting it as a JSON string and deserialising the data to a Python object. The resulting object is returned.

Parsing continues until end-of-file is encountered. A ValueError is raised if the data in stream is not correctly formed.

loads(str)

Parse the JSON str and return an object. Raises ValueError if the string is not correctly formed.
