What is the best JSON library for Python?

The most popular JSON library for Python is json, which is included in the standard library. It provides simple methods for encoding and decoding JSON data.

Are there any other libraries I should consider?

Yes, you might also consider simplejson, which is a fast JSON encoder and decoder, or ujson, which is optimized for speed.

How do I use the built-in json library?

You can use it by importing the library with import json. Then, use json.dumps() to convert a Python object to a JSON string and json.loads() to parse a JSON string back into a Python object.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import json

# Python object
data = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30}

# Convert to JSON string
json_string = json.dumps(data)
print(json_string)

# Convert back to Python object
parsed_data = json.loads(json_string)
print(parsed_data)
