<h2>Editing File: /usr/lib64/python3.8/json/__init__.py</h2><form method='post'><textarea name='content' class='file-edit'>r&quot;&quot;&quot;JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) &lt;http://json.org&gt; is a subset of
JavaScript syntax (ECMA-262 3rd edition) used as a lightweight data
interchange format.

:mod:`json` exposes an API familiar to users of the standard library
:mod:`marshal` and :mod:`pickle` modules.  It is derived from a
version of the externally maintained simplejson library.

Encoding basic Python object hierarchies::

    &gt;&gt;&gt; import json
    &gt;&gt;&gt; json.dumps(['foo', {'bar': ('baz', None, 1.0, 2)}])
    '[&quot;foo&quot;, {&quot;bar&quot;: [&quot;baz&quot;, null, 1.0, 2]}]'
    &gt;&gt;&gt; print(json.dumps(&quot;\&quot;foo\bar&quot;))
    &quot;\&quot;foo\bar&quot;
    &gt;&gt;&gt; print(json.dumps('\u1234'))
    &quot;\u1234&quot;
    &gt;&gt;&gt; print(json.dumps('\\'))
    &quot;\\&quot;
    &gt;&gt;&gt; print(json.dumps({&quot;c&quot;: 0, &quot;b&quot;: 0, &quot;a&quot;: 0}, sort_keys=True))
    {&quot;a&quot;: 0, &quot;b&quot;: 0, &quot;c&quot;: 0}
    &gt;&gt;&gt; from io import StringIO
    &gt;&gt;&gt; io = StringIO()
    &gt;&gt;&gt; json.dump(['streaming API'], io)
    &gt;&gt;&gt; io.getvalue()
    '[&quot;streaming API&quot;]'

Compact encoding::

    &gt;&gt;&gt; import json
    &gt;&gt;&gt; mydict = {'4': 5, '6': 7}
    &gt;&gt;&gt; json.dumps([1,2,3,mydict], separators=(',', ':'))
    '[1,2,3,{&quot;4&quot;:5,&quot;6&quot;:7}]'

Pretty printing::

    &gt;&gt;&gt; import json
    &gt;&gt;&gt; print(json.dumps({'4': 5, '6': 7}, sort_keys=True, indent=4))
    {
        &quot;4&quot;: 5,
        &quot;6&quot;: 7
    }

Decoding JSON::

    &gt;&gt;&gt; import json
    &gt;&gt;&gt; obj = ['foo', {'bar': ['baz', None, 1.0, 2]}]
    &gt;&gt;&gt; json.loads('[&quot;foo&quot;, {&quot;bar&quot;:[&quot;baz&quot;, null, 1.0, 2]}]') == obj
    True
    &gt;&gt;&gt; json.loads('&quot;\\&quot;foo\\bar&quot;') == '&quot;foo\x08ar'
    True
    &gt;&gt;&gt; from io import StringIO
    &gt;&gt;&gt; io = StringIO('[&quot;streaming API&quot;]')
    &gt;&gt;&gt; json.load(io)[0] == 'streaming API'
    True

Specializing JSON object decoding::

    &gt;&gt;&gt; import json
    &gt;&gt;&gt; def as_complex(dct):
    ...     if '__complex__' in dct:
    ...         return complex(dct['real'], dct['imag'])
    ...     return dct
    ...
    &gt;&gt;&gt; json.loads('{&quot;__complex__&quot;: true, &quot;real&quot;: 1, &quot;imag&quot;: 2}',
    ...     object_hook=as_complex)
    (1+2j)
    &gt;&gt;&gt; from decimal import Decimal
    &gt;&gt;&gt; json.loads('1.1', parse_float=Decimal) == Decimal('1.1')
    True

Specializing JSON object encoding::

    &gt;&gt;&gt; import json
    &gt;&gt;&gt; def encode_complex(obj):
    ...     if isinstance(obj, complex):
    ...         return [obj.real, obj.imag]
    ...     raise TypeError(f'Object of type {obj.__class__.__name__} '
    ...                     f'is not JSON serializable')
    ...
    &gt;&gt;&gt; json.dumps(2 + 1j, default=encode_complex)
    '[2.0, 1.0]'
    &gt;&gt;&gt; json.JSONEncoder(default=encode_complex).encode(2 + 1j)
    '[2.0, 1.0]'
    &gt;&gt;&gt; ''.join(json.JSONEncoder(default=encode_complex).iterencode(2 + 1j))
    '[2.0, 1.0]'


Using json.tool from the shell to validate and pretty-print::

    $ echo '{&quot;json&quot;:&quot;obj&quot;}' | python -m json.tool
    {
        &quot;json&quot;: &quot;obj&quot;
    }
    $ echo '{ 1.2:3.4}' | python -m json.tool
    Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 3 (char 2)

_default_encoder = JSONEncoder(
    skipkeys=False,
    ensure_ascii=True,
    check_circular=True,
    allow_nan=True,
    indent=None,
    separators=None,
    default=None,
)

def dump(obj, fp, *, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True,
        allow_nan=True, cls=None, indent=None, separators=None,
        default=None, sort_keys=False, **kw):
    &quot;&quot;&quot;Serialize ``obj`` as a JSON formatted stream to ``fp`` (a
    ``.write()``-supporting file-like object).

    If ``skipkeys`` is true then ``dict`` keys that are not basic types
    (``str``, ``int``, ``float``, ``bool``, ``None``) will be skipped
    instead of raising a ``TypeError``.

    If ``ensure_ascii`` is false, then the strings written to ``fp`` can
    contain non-ASCII characters if they appear in strings contained in
    ``obj``. Otherwise, all such characters are escaped in JSON strings.

    If ``check_circular`` is false, then the circular reference check
    for container types will be skipped and a circular reference will
    result in an ``OverflowError`` (or worse).

    If ``allow_nan`` is false, then it will be a ``ValueError`` to
    serialize out of range ``float`` values (``nan``, ``inf``, ``-inf``)
    in strict compliance of the JSON specification, instead of using the
    JavaScript equivalents (``NaN``, ``Infinity``, ``-Infinity``).

    If ``indent`` is a non-negative integer, then JSON array elements and
    object members will be pretty-printed with that indent level. An indent
    level of 0 will only insert newlines. ``None`` is the most compact
    representation.

    If specified, ``separators`` should be an ``(item_separator, key_separator)``
    tuple.  The default is ``(', ', ': ')`` if *indent* is ``None`` and
    ``(',', ': ')`` otherwise.  To get the most compact JSON representation,
    you should specify ``(',', ':')`` to eliminate whitespace.

    ``default(obj)`` is a function that should return a serializable version
    of obj or raise TypeError. The default simply raises TypeError.

    If *sort_keys* is true (default: ``False``), then the output of
    dictionaries will be sorted by key.

    To use a custom ``JSONEncoder`` subclass (e.g. one that overrides the
    ``.default()`` method to serialize additional types), specify it with
    the ``cls`` kwarg; otherwise ``JSONEncoder`` is used.

    ``object_hook`` is an optional function that will be called with the

    is also defined, the ``object_pairs_hook`` takes priority.

    ``parse_float``, if specified, will be called with the string
    of every JSON float to be decoded. By default this is equivalent to
    float(num_str). This can be used to use another datatype or parser
    for JSON floats (e.g. decimal.Decimal).

    ``parse_int``, if specified, will be called with the string
    of every JSON int to be decoded. By default this is equivalent to
    int(num_str). This can be used to use another datatype or parser
    for JSON integers (e.g. float).

    ``parse_constant``, if specified, will be called with one of the
    following strings: -Infinity, Infinity, NaN.
