A simple and extensible JSON encoder/decoder for Python
simplejson
simplejson is a simple, fast, complete, correct and extensible JSON http://json.org encoder and decoder for Python 3.3+ with legacy support for Python 2.5+. It is pure Python code with no dependencies, but includes an optional C extension for a serious speed boost.
simplejson is the externally maintained development version of the json library included with Python (since 2.6). This version is tested with the latest Python 3.8 and maintains backwards compatibility with Python 3.3+ and the legacy Python 2.5 – Python 2.7 releases.
The encoder can be specialized to provide serialization in any kind of situation, without any special support by the objects to be serialized (somewhat like pickle). This is best done with the default kwarg to dumps.
The decoder can handle incoming
