Description-en: simple, fast, extensible JSON encoder/decoder for Python
simplejson is a simple, fast, complete, correct and extensible JSON
encoder and decoder.
.
The encoder may be subclassed to provide serialization in any kind of
situation, without any special support by the objects to be serialized
(somewhat like pickle).
.
The decoder can handle incoming JSON strings of any specified encoding
(UTF-8 by default).
.
simplejson is the externally maintained development version of the json
library included with Python 2.6 and Python 3.0, but maintains backwards
compatibility with Python 2.5.
