python-cjson

============

This is modified and improved version of the python-cjson module, original

version of which can be found here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-cjson

Differences from upstream:

* We allow to use integer and longs as object keys (their are converted to

strings as you would expect)

* Handle object __json__ attributes. If parser doesn't know how to convert an

object to JSON, it searches for the '__json__' callable attribute, invokes

it, and then uses return value instead of original object.

* Convert datetime instances to strings looking

like DATE[[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS]]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This module implements a very fast JSON encoder/decoder for Python.

JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and is a text based lightweight

data exchange format which is easy for humans to read/write and for machines

to parse/generate. JSON is completely language independent and has multiple

implementations in most of the programming languages, making it ideal for

data exchange and storage.

The module is written in C and it is up to 250 times faster when compared to

the other python JSON implementations which are written directly in python.

This speed gain varies with the complexity of the data and the operation and

is the the range of 10-200 times for encoding operations and in the range of

100-250 times for decoding operations.
