Custom Json (de)serialisation?

I'm porting some code from .Net to python. At one point, we need to translate arbitrarily complex json from one format to another. Eg: {'Query': { 'Boolean': {

Solution 1:

You can subclass the default JSONEncoder.

From: http://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html

"To use a custom JSONEncoder subclass (e.g. one that overrides the default() method to serialize additional types), specify it with the cls kwarg; otherwise JSONEncoder is used."

http://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html#json.JSONEncoder

Example of usage: Custom JSON encoder in Python 2.7 to insert plain JavaScript code
