> If you can serialize an object using pickle, > why not have the ability to serialize objects using json? One reason would be that the JSON spec was intentionally designed to handle a limited number of types so that it would have maximum interoperability between languages. Another reason is that in order to make other types round-trip between encoding and decoding, you would need to control both ends, in which case, you might as well use pickle. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35111> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
