Python library for serializing any arbitrary object graph into JSON

Python library for serializing any arbitrary object graph into JSON

>>> import jsonpickle
>>> from jsonpickle.tests.classes import Thing

Create an object.
>>> obj = Thing('A String')
>>> print obj.name
A String

Use jsonpickle to transform the object into a JSON string.
>>> pickled = jsonpickle.dumps(obj)
>>> print pickled
{"classname__": "Thing", "child": null, "name": "A String", "classmodule__": "jsonpickle.tests.classes"}

Use jsonpickle to recreate a Python object from a JSON string
>>> unpickled = jsonpickle.loads(pickled)
>>> print unpickled.name
A String

The new object has the same type and data, but essentially is now a copy of the original.
>>> obj == unpickled
False
>>> obj.name == unpickled.name
True
>>> type(obj) == type(unpickled)
True

If you will never need to load (regenerate the Python class from JSON), you can
pass in the keyword unpicklable=False to prevent extra information from being
added to JSON.
>>> oneway = jsonpickle.dumps(obj, unpicklable=False)
>>> print oneway
{"name": "A String", "child": null}
