Usage

Parsing

To parse a TJSON document:

>> from pytjson import tjson
>> my_tjson = tjson()
>> my_tjson.parse('{"foo:s":"bar"}')
{'foo': 'bar'}

The following describes how TJSON types map onto Python types during parsing:

• Unicode Strings: parsed as Python's String with Encoding::UTF_8
• Binary Data: parsed as python bytes
• Integers: parsed as python Int
• Floats (i.e. JSON number literals): parsed as python float
• Timestamps: parsed as python datetime.datetime
• Arrays: parsed as python list
• Objects: parsed as TJSON::Object (a subclass of ::Dict)

Generating

To generate TJSON from Pytjon's objects, use the generate() method:

>> from pytjson.tjson import tjson
>> my_tjson = tjson()
>> my_tjson.generate({"foo" => "bar"})
{"foo:s:"bar"}
