Serializer / Encoder
The serializer returns ASCII data that can safely be used in an HTML template. Apostrophes, ampersands, greater-than, and less-then signs are encoded as unicode escaped sequences. E.g. this snippet is safe for any and all input:
"<a onclick='alert(" + encode(data) + ")'>show message</a>"
Unless the input contains infinite or NaN values, the result will be valid JSON data.

Full Encoder Description
- pyjson5.encode(data, *, options=None, **options_kw)
Serializes a Python object as a JSON5 compatible string.
encode(['Hello', 'world!']) == '["Hello","world!"]'
- Parameters
- Raises
Json5EncoderException – An exception occured while encoding.
TypeError – An argument had a wrong type.
- Returns
Unless
float('inf')
orfloat('nan')
is encountered, the result will be valid JSON data (as of RFC8259).The result is always ASCII. All characters outside of the ASCII range are escaped.
The result safe to use in an HTML template, e.g.
<a onclick='alert({{ encode(url) }})'>show message</a>
. Apostrophes"'"
are encoded as"\u0027"
, less-than, greater-than, and ampersand likewise.- Return type
- pyjson5.encode_bytes(data, *, options=None, **options_kw)
Serializes a Python object to a JSON5 compatible bytes string.
encode_bytes(['Hello', 'world!']) == b'["Hello","world!"]'
- pyjson5.encode_callback(data, cb, supply_bytes=False, *, options=None, **options_kw)
Serializes a Python object into a callback function.
The callback function
cb
gets called with single characters and strings until the inputdata
is fully serialized.encode_callback(['Hello', 'world!'], print) #prints: # [ # " # Hello # " # , # " # world! # " " ]
- Parameters
- Raises
Json5EncoderException – An exception occured while encoding.
TypeError – An argument had a wrong type.
- Returns
The supplied argument
cb
.- Return type
- pyjson5.encode_io(data, fp, supply_bytes=True, *, options=None, **options_kw)
Serializes a Python object into a file-object.
The return value of
fp.write(…)
is not checked. Iffp
is unbuffered, then the result will be garbage!- Parameters
- Raises
Json5EncoderException – An exception occured while encoding.
TypeError – An argument had a wrong type.
- Returns
The supplied argument
fp
.- Return type
IOBase
- pyjson5.encode_noop(data, *, options=None, **options_kw)
Test if the input is serializable.
Most likely you want to serialize
data
directly, and catch exceptions instead of using this function!encode_noop({47: 11}) == True encode_noop({47: object()}) == False
- class pyjson5.Options
Customizations for the
encoder_*(...)
function family.Immutable. Use
Options.update(**kw)
to create a new Options instance.- Parameters
quotationmark (str|None) –
str: One character string that is used to surround strings.
None: Use default:
'"'
.
tojson (str|False|None) –
str: A special method to call on objects to return a custom JSON encoded string. Must return ASCII data!
False: No such member exists. (Default.)
None: Use default.
mappingtypes (Iterable[type]|False|None) –
Iterable[type]: Classes that should be encoded to objects. Must be iterable over their keys, and implement
__getitem__
.False: There are no objects. Any object will be encoded as list of keys as in list(obj).
None: Use default:
[collections.abc.Mapping]
.

Encoder Compatibility Functions
- pyjson5.dump(obj, fp, **kw)
Serializes a Python object to a JSON5 compatible string.
Use
encode_io(…)
instead!dump(obj, fp) == encode_io(obj, fp)
- Parameters
obj (object) – Python object to serialize.
fp (IOBase) – A file-like object to serialize into.
kw – Silently ignored.
