Ultra fast JSON encoder and decoder for Python

Project description

UltraJSON

UltraJSON is an ultra fast JSON encoder and decoder written in pure C with bindings for Python 2.5+ and 3.

To install it just run Pip as usual:

$ pip install ujson

Usage

May be used as a drop in replacement for most other JSON parsers for Python:

>>> import ujson
>>> ujson.dumps([{"key": "value"}, 81, True])
'[{"key":"value"},81,true]'
>>> ujson.loads("""[{"key": "value"}, 81, true]""")
[{u'key': u'value'}, 81, True]

Benchmarks

UltraJSON calls/sec compared to three other popular JSON parsers with performance gain specified below each.
