json-encoder

• json encoder uses singledispatch pattern_ instead of JSONEncoder class overwrites.

• No more json.dumps(data, cls=MyJSONEncoder) everywhere.

• Comes with default serialization for time, date, datetime, UUID and Decimal

• Easy to use, easy to change serialization behaviour

• Not tight to any json implementation json, simplejson, ujson ...

• It parse json float numbers into Decimal objects to prevent python float precision issues.

Installation

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install json-encoder

Quick start

• Use "json_encoder.json" instead of default python json::

  from json_encoder import json

  result = json.dumps(data)

Configuration

• Chose json implementation::

  simplejson library is used as default json implementation if present

  otherwise standard python json implementation is used

  to use other json implementation globally, do:

  import ujson from json_encoder import use_json_library

  use_json_library(ujson)

• To change json implementation for concrete call do::

  from json_encoder import json import simplejson

  result = json.dumps(data, json=simplejson)

• To make your object JSON serializable do::

  example how to make python fraction object json serializable

  from fractions import Fraction from json_encoder.encoder import json_encoder

  @json_encoder.register(Fraction) def encode_fraction(obj): return '{}/{}'.format(obj.numerator, obj.denominator)

• To overwrite JSON serializer behaviour defined in json_encoder.encoder::

  from uuid import UUID from six import text_type from json_encoder.encoder import json_encoder

  @json_encoder.register(UUID) def encode_uuid(obj): return text_type(obj).replace('-', '')

Requirements

• singledispatch_ >= 3.4.0.3 for python version < 3.4 only
