As per [their blog post of the 27th April](https://blog.readthedocs.com/securing-subdomains/) ‘Securing subdomains’: > Starting today, Read the Docs will start hosting projects from subdomains on the domain readthedocs.io, instead of on readthedocs.org. This change addresses some security concerns around site cookies while hosting user generated data on the same domain as our dashboard. Test Plan: Manually visited all the links I’ve modified.

JSON
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
The `json <https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html>`_ library can parse
|
|
JSON from strings or files. The library parses JSON into a Python dictionary
|
|
or list. It can also convert Python dictionaries or lists into JSON strings.
|
|
|
|
Parsing JSON
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Take the following string containing JSON data:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
json_string = '{"first_name": "Guido", "last_name":"Rossum"}'
|
|
|
|
It can be parsed like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import json
|
|
parsed_json = json.loads(json_string)
|
|
|
|
and can now be used as a normal dictionary:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
print(parsed_json['first_name'])
|
|
"Guido"
|
|
|
|
You can also convert the following to JSON:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
d = {
|
|
'first_name': 'Guido',
|
|
'second_name': 'Rossum',
|
|
'titles': ['BDFL', 'Developer'],
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
print(json.dumps(d))
|
|
'{"first_name": "Guido", "last_name": "Rossum", "titles": ["BDFL", "Developer"]}'
|
|
|
|
|
|
simplejson
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
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.io/en/latest/>`_ library is
|
|
available via PyPI.
|
|
|
|
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.
