JSONx

This is a Python module implementing JSONx, an XML representation of the JSON data model. The format is defined by IBM, and documentation is available on the IBM website: JSONx conversion rules

Note: currently only writing support has been implemented; there's no parser yet!

Example

JSON:

{"foo": [1, "bar", []]}

JSONx:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<json:object xmlns:json="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/2009/jsonx" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.datapower.com/schemas/json jsonx.xsd">
  <json:array name="foo">
    <json:number>1</json:number>
    <json:string>bar</json:string>
    <json:array/>
  </json:array>
</json:object>

WHAT? WHY WOULD I NEED THIS?

You probably don't want to use this. But, hey, remember, using XML makes your product ready for the enterprise!

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install jsonx

Usage

The interface mimics the familiar json module:

import jsonx

obj = {
    "name": "John Doe",
    "age": 12,
}

# To obtain a byte string, use dumps()
value = jsonx.dumps(obj)

# To write directly to a file-like object, use dump()
with open("output.xml") as fp:
    jsonx.dump(obj, fp)
