<p>simplejson is a simple, fast, complete, correct and extensible
JSON <<a class="reference external" href="http://json.org">http://json.org</a>> encoder and decoder for Python 2.5+
and Python 3.3+. It is pure Python code with no dependencies,
but includes an optional C extension for a serious speed boost.</p>
<p>The latest documentation for simplejson can be read online here:
<a class="reference external" href="http://simplejson.readthedocs.org/">http://simplejson.readthedocs.org/</a></p>
<p>simplejson is the externally maintained development version of the
json library included with Python 2.6 and Python 3.0, but maintains
backwards compatibility with Python 2.5.</p>
<p>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 <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">default</span></tt> kwarg
to dumps.</p>
<p>The decoder can handle incoming JSON strings of any specified encoding
(UTF-8 by default). It can also be specialized to post-process JSON
objects with the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">object_hook</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">object_pairs_hook</span></tt> kwargs. This
is particularly useful for implementing protocols such as JSON-RPC
that have a richer type system than JSON itself.</p>
