simplejson
----------
`simplejson <https://simplejson.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_ is the externally maintained development version of the json library.
The JSON library was added to Python in version 2.6. If you're using an earlier version of Python, the `simplejson <https://simplejson.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_ library is available via PyPI.
simplejson mimics the json standard library, it is available so that developers that use an older version of python can use the latest features available in the json lib.
simplejson mimics the json standard library. It is available so that developers that use older versions of Python can use the latest features available in the json lib.
You can start using simplejson when the json library is not available by importing simplejson under a different name:
.. code-block:: python
import simplejson as json
After importing simplejson as json, the above examples will all work as if you were using the standard json library.
