JSONDecoder
Simple JSON <http://json.org> decoder
The JSONDecoder class is accessible via the simplejson module.
Performs the following translations in decoding:
| JSON | Python |
|---|---|
| object | dict |
| array | list |
| string | unicode |
| number (int) | int, long |
| number (real) | float |
| true | True |
| false | False |
| null | None |
It also understands NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity as their corresponding float values, which is outside the JSON spec.
Methods
f __init__(self, encoding=None) ...
encoding determines the encoding used to interpret any str objects decoded by this instance (utf-8 by default). It has no effect when decoding unicode objects.
Note that currently only encodings that are a superset of ASCII work, strings of other encodings should be passed in as unicode.
f decode(self, s) ...
Return the Python representation of s (a str or unicode instance containing a JSON document)
f raw_decode(self, s) ...
Decode a JSON document from s (a str or unicode beginning with a JSON document) and return a 2-tuple of the Python representation and the index in s where the document ended.
This can be used to decode a JSON document from a string that may have extraneous data at the end.
