  615. <p>If <em>ensure_ascii</em> is true (the default), the output is guaranteed to

  616. have all incoming non-ASCII characters escaped.  If <em>ensure_ascii</em> is

  617. false, these characters will be output as-is.</p>

  618. <p>If <em>check_circular</em> is true (the default), then lists, dicts, and custom

  619. encoded objects will be checked for circular references during encoding to

  620. prevent an infinite recursion (which would cause a <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#RecursionError" title="RecursionError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RecursionError</span></code></a>).

  621. Otherwise, no such check takes place.</p>

  623. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-Infinity</span></code> will be encoded as such.  This behavior is not JSON

  624. specification compliant, but is consistent with most JavaScript based

  627. <p>If <em>sort_keys</em> is true (default: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code>), then the output of dictionaries

  628. will be sorted by key; this is useful for regression tests to ensure that

  629. JSON serializations can be compared on a day-to-day basis.</p>

  630. <p>If <em>indent</em> is a non-negative integer or string, then JSON array elements and

  631. object members will be pretty-printed with that indent level.  An indent level

  632. of 0, negative, or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;&quot;</span></code> will only insert newlines.  <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code> (the default)

  633. selects the most compact representation. Using a positive integer indent

  634. indents that many spaces per level.  If <em>indent</em> is a string (such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;\t&quot;</span></code>),

  742. <h2>Standard Compliance and Interoperability<a class="headerlink" href="#standard-compliance-and-interoperability" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>

  743. <p>The JSON format is specified by <span class="target" id="index-2"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7159.html"><strong>RFC 7159</strong></a> and by

  744. <a class="reference external" href="https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-404/">ECMA-404</a>.

  745. This section details this module’s level of compliance with the RFC.

  746. For simplicity, <a class="reference internal" href="#json.JSONEncoder" title="json.JSONEncoder"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">JSONEncoder</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#json.JSONDecoder" title="json.JSONDecoder"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">JSONDecoder</span></code></a> subclasses, and

  747. parameters other than those explicitly mentioned, are not considered.</p>

  748. <p>This module does not comply with the RFC in a strict fashion, implementing some

  749. extensions that are valid JavaScript but not valid JSON.  In particular:</p>

  750. <ul class="simple">

  751. <li><p>Infinite and NaN number values are accepted and output;</p></li>

  752. <li><p>Repeated names within an object are accepted, and only the value of the last

  753. name-value pair is used.</p></li>

  754. </ul>

  755. <p>Since the RFC permits RFC-compliant parsers to accept input texts that are not

  756. RFC-compliant, this module’s deserializer is technically RFC-compliant under

  757. default settings.</p>

  758. <section id="character-encodings">

  759. <h3>Character Encodings<a class="headerlink" href="#character-encodings" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>

  760. <p>The RFC requires that JSON be represented using either UTF-8, UTF-16, or

  761. UTF-32, with UTF-8 being the recommended default for maximum interoperability.</p>

  762. <p>As permitted, though not required, by the RFC, this module’s serializer sets

  763. <em>ensure_ascii=True</em> by default, thus escaping the output so that the resulting

  764. strings only contain ASCII characters.</p>

  765. <p>Other than the <em>ensure_ascii</em> parameter, this module is defined strictly in

  766. terms of conversion between Python objects and

  767. <a class="reference internal" href="stdtypes.html#str" title="str"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Unicode</span> <span class="pre">strings</span></code></a>, and thus does not otherwise directly address

  768. the issue of character encodings.</p>

  769. <p>The RFC prohibits adding a byte order mark (BOM) to the start of a JSON text,

  770. and this module’s serializer does not add a BOM to its output.

  771. The RFC permits, but does not require, JSON deserializers to ignore an initial

  772. BOM in their input.  This module’s deserializer raises a <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#ValueError" title="ValueError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ValueError</span></code></a>

  773. when an initial BOM is present.</p>

  774. <p>The RFC does not explicitly forbid JSON strings which contain byte sequences

  775. that don’t correspond to valid Unicode characters (e.g. unpaired UTF-16

  776. surrogates), but it does note that they may cause interoperability problems.

  777. By default, this module accepts and outputs (when present in the original

  778. <a class="reference internal" href="stdtypes.html#str" title="str"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str</span></code></a>) code points for such sequences.</p>

  818. (Python <a class="reference internal" href="stdtypes.html#dict" title="dict"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dict</span></code></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="stdtypes.html#list" title="list"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">list</span></code></a>), and could not be a JSON null,

  825. <section id="implementation-limitations">

  826. <h3>Implementation Limitations<a class="headerlink" href="#implementation-limitations" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>

  827. <p>Some JSON deserializer implementations may set limits on:</p>

  828. <ul class="simple">

  829. <li><p>the size of accepted JSON texts</p></li>

  830. <li><p>the maximum level of nesting of JSON objects and arrays</p></li>

  831. <li><p>the range and precision of JSON numbers</p></li>

  832. <li><p>the content and maximum length of JSON strings</p></li>

  833. </ul>

  834. <p>This module does not impose any such limits beyond those of the relevant

  835. Python datatypes themselves or the Python interpreter itself.</p>

  836. <p>When serializing to JSON, beware any such limitations in applications that may

  837. consume your JSON.  In particular, it is common for JSON numbers to be

  838. deserialized into IEEE 754 double precision numbers and thus subject to that

  839. representation’s range and precision limitations.  This is especially relevant

  840. when serializing Python <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#int" title="int"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">int</span></code></a> values of extremely large magnitude, or

  841. when serializing instances of “exotic” numerical types such as
