|
data format.

.. function:: dump(obj, stream, separators=None)

|
|
|
|
2018-07-23 21:34:25 -04:00
|
|
|
Serialise ``obj`` to a JSON string, writing it to the given *stream*.

|
|
|
|
2021-02-03 03:24:25 -05:00
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: dumps(obj, separators=None)
|
2014-10-30 21:37:19 -04:00
|
|
|
|

.. function:: load(stream)
|
|
|
|
|
2018-07-23 21:34:25 -04:00
|
|
|
Parse the given ``stream``, interpreting it as a JSON string and
|
2018-02-05 23:48:24 -05:00
|
|
|
deserialising the data to a Python object. The resulting object is
|
|
|
|
returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Parsing continues until end-of-file is encountered.
|
2018-07-23 21:34:25 -04:00
|
|
|
A :exc:`ValueError` is raised if the data in ``stream`` is not correctly formed.

.. function:: loads(str)
|
|
|
|
|
2018-02-14 19:31:34 -05:00

string is not correctly formed.
