README
UltraJSON
UltraJSON is an ultra fast JSON encoder and decoder written in pure C with bindings for Python 3.6+.
Install with pip:
python -m 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]""")
[{'key': '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("åäö")
'"\\u00e5\\u00e4\\u00f6"'
>>> ujson.dumps("åäö", ensure_ascii=False)
'"åäö"'
escape_forward_slashes
Controls whether forward slashes (/) are escaped. Default is True:
>>> ujson.dumps("http://esn.me")
'"http:\\/\\/esn.me"'
>>> ujson.dumps("http://esn.me", escape_forward_slashes=False)
'"http://esn.me"'
indent
Controls whether indentation ("pretty output") is enabled. Default is 0 (disabled):
>>> ujson.dumps({"foo": "bar"})
'{"foo":"bar"}'
>>> print(ujson.dumps({"foo": "bar"}, indent=4))
{
"foo":"bar"
}
