Sick of rewriting the same JSON datetime handling code for each project?
jsondate
is a drop-in replacement for Python's standard json
library that
adds sensible handling of datetime
and date
objects.
jsondate
uses ISO8601 for encoding datetime
objects and the
date-specific part of ISO6801 for encoding date
objects.
Example:
import datetime import jsondate as json >>> data = json.dumps(dict(created_at=datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 31))) '{"created_at": "2012-10-31T00:00:00Z"}' >>> json.loads(data) {u'created_at': datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 31, 0, 0)} >>> date = json.dumps(dict(date=datetime.date(2012, 10, 31))) '{"date": "2012-10-31"}' >>> json.loads(data) {u'created_at': datetime.date(2012, 10, 31)}
