.. function:: serialize(obj)
Serialize the object to JSON.
.. function:: deserialize(str)
Deserialize JSON-encoded object to a Python object.
.. function:: force_implementation(name)
Load a specific json module. This is useful for testing and not much else
.. attribute:: implementation
The json implementation object. This is probably not useful to you,
except to get the name of the implementation in use. The name is
available through `implementation.name`.
.. data:: _modules
List of known json modules, and the names of their serialize/unserialize
methods, as well as the exception they throw. Exception can be either
an exception class or a string.
