> Possible features for 2.6 > New modules in the standard library: > - JSON implementation > Have there been any plans made for which one? All of the implementations I'm aware of (cjson, simplejson, jsonlib, demjson, python-json) have serious issues that in my opinion should be fixed before inclusion in the standard library[1]. I am the author of jsonlib, and am willing to write patches for whichever implementation becomes the standard, but it would be very nice to know what to focus on.
Apologies if this has been discussed already, but there was no link to a PEP in 361 and a search of python-dev and c.l.p returned no relevant results. [1] * cjson and python-json have almost complete absense of Unicode support. * simplejson is slow and writes incorrect unicode escapes. * demjson is far too forgiving when parsing and accepts all sorts of invalid input. * jsonlib is not PEP 8-compliant and has terrible error handling. * python-json is abandoned, slow, and lacks Unicode support. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
