Hi.
Why the json serializer does not support plain strings?
I'm having problems because I want to serialize keywords arguments and
the dictionary keys are str objects, not unicode.
There are some problems with this:
elif isinstance(obj, str):
w('"')
w(stringEncode(obj.decode("us-ascii"))
w('"')
?
Yes. What if it is not an ASCII string?
Raise an arror?
Is this really a problem?
Yes.
Unfortunalety(?) plain strings are widely used in the CPython
implementation (keywords arguments stores keys as str not unicode).
If you know that your strings
are ASCII strings, decode them before you give them to Athena.
I'm not using json for Athena, just to serialize a dictionary (keywords
arguments) in JSON format.
You should probably use another json library, then. nevow.json is primarily
a support library for athena.
