A simple, fast, extensible JSON encoder and decoder

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) <http://json.org> is a subset of
JavaScript syntax (ECMA-262 3rd edition) used as a lightweight data
interchange format.

simplejson exposes an API familiar to uses of the standard library
marshal and pickle modules.

Encoding basic Python object hierarchies::
    
    >>> import simplejson
    >>> simplejson.dumps(['foo', {'bar': ('baz', None, 1.0, 2)}])
    '["foo", {"bar": ["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]'
    >>> print simplejson.dumps("\"foo\bar")
    "\"foo\bar"
    >>> print simplejson.dumps(u'\u1234')
    "\u1234"
    >>> print simplejson.dumps('\\')
    "\\"
    >>> print simplejson.dumps({"c": 0, "b": 0, "a": 0}, sort_keys=True)
    {"a": 0, "b": 0, "c": 0}
    >>> from StringIO import StringIO
    >>> io = StringIO()
    >>> simplejson.dump(['streaming API'], io)
    >>> io.getvalue()
    '["streaming API"]'

Compact encoding::

    >>> import simplejson
    >>> simplejson.dumps([1,2,3,{'4': 5, '6': 7}], separators=(',',':'))
    '[1,2,3,{"4":5,"6":7}]'

Pretty printing::

    >>> import simplejson
    >>> print simplejson.dumps({'4': 5, '6': 7}, sort_keys=True, indent=4)
    {
        "4": 5, 
        "6": 7
    }

Decoding JSON::
    
    >>> import simplejson
    >>> simplejson.loads('["foo", {"bar":["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]')
    [u'foo', {u'bar': [u'baz', None, 1.0, 2]}]
    >>> simplejson.loads('"\\"foo\\bar"')
    u'"foo\x08ar'
    >>> from StringIO import StringIO
    >>> io = StringIO('["streaming API"]')
    >>> simplejson.load(io)
    [u'streaming API']

Specializing JSON object decoding::

    >>> import simplejson
    >>> def as_complex(dct):
    ...     if '__complex__' in dct:
    ...         return complex(dct['real'], dct['imag'])
    ...     return dct
    ... 
    >>> simplejson.loads('{"__complex__": true, "real": 1, "imag": 2}',
    ...     object_hook=as_complex)
    (1+2j)
    >>> import decimal
    >>> simplejson.loads('1.1', parse_float=decimal.Decimal)
    Decimal("1.1")

Extending JSONEncoder::
    
    >>> import simplejson
    >>> class ComplexEncoder(simplejson.JSONEncoder):
    ...     def default(self, obj):
    ...         if isinstance(obj, complex):
    ...             return [obj.real, obj.imag]
    ...         return simplejson.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)
    ... 
    >>> dumps(2 + 1j, cls=ComplexEncoder)
    '[2.0, 1.0]'
    >>> ComplexEncoder().encode(2 + 1j)
    '[2.0, 1.0]'
    >>> list(ComplexEncoder().iterencode(2 + 1j))
    ['[', '2.0', ', ', '1.0', ']']
    

Using simplejson from the shell to validate and
pretty-print::
    
    $ echo '{"json":"obj"}' | python -msimplejson.tool
    {
        "json": "obj"
    }
    $ echo '{ 1.2:3.4}' | python -msimplejson.tool
    Expecting property name: line 1 column 2 (char 2)

Note that the JSON produced by this module's default settings
is a subset of YAML, so it may be used as a serializer for that as well.

    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.
