json – JSON encoding and decoding

This module implements a subset of the corresponding CPython module, as described below. For more information, refer to the original CPython documentation: json.

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

Functions

json.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.

json.dumps(obj, separators=None)

Return obj represented as a JSON string.

The arguments have the same meaning as in dump.

json.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.

json.loads(str)

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