Ultra fast JSON encoder and decoder for Python
Project description
UltraJSON is an ultra fast JSON encoder and decoder written in pure C with bindings for Python 2.5+ and 3.
For a more painless day to day C/C++ JSON decoder experience please checkout ujson4c, based on UltraJSON.
To install it just run Pip as usual:
$ pip install ujson
Usage
May be used as a drop in replacement for most other JSON parsers for Python:
>>> import ujson >>> ujson.dumps([{"key": "value"}, 81, True]) '[{"key":"value"},81,true]' >>> ujson.loads("""[{"key": "value"}, 81, true]""") [{u'key': u'value'}, 81, True]
Encoder options
encode_html_chars
Used to enable special encoding of “unsafe” HTML characters into safer Unicode sequences. Default is false:
>>> ujson.dumps("<script>John&Doe", encode_html_chars=True) '"\\u003cscript\\u003eJohn\\u0026Doe"'
ensure_ascii
Limits output to ASCII and escapes all extended characters above 127. Default is true. If your end format supports UTF-8 setting this option to false is highly recommended to save space:
>>> ujson.dumps(u"\xe5\xe4\xf6") '"\\u00e5\\u00e4\\u00f6"' >>> ujson.dumps(u"\xe5\xe4\xf6", ensure_ascii=False) '"\xc3\xa5\xc3\xa4\xc3\xb6"'
double_precision
Controls how many decimals to encode for double or decimal values. Default is 9:
>>> ujson.dumps(math.pi) '3.1415926536' >>> ujson.dumps(math.pi, double_precision=1) '3.1' >>> ujson.dumps(math.pi, double_precision=0) '3' >>> ujson.dumps(math.pi, double_precision=4) '3.1416'
Decoders options
precise_float
Set to enable usage of higher precision (strtod) function when decoding string to double values. Default is to use fast but less precise builtin functionality:
>>> ujson.loads("4.56") 4.5600000000000005 >>> ujson.loads("4.56", precise_float=True) 4.5599999999999996
