Are you talking about serializing some structure to store in a
BlobProperty on a datastore entity? If you want to use json, why not
just write yourself a nice helper method, or new db.Property, so that
access works nicely too? In fact, I think there are several versions
of "JSONProperty" floating around already.
You could view the source of the model_{to,from}_protobuf methods.
They are specific to db.Model.
