This core of this idea is plausible. It is a common problem for people to want to teach a class how to convert itself to and from JSON. Altering the API for dicts is a major step, so you would need to take this to python-ideas to start getting buy-in. A much smaller API change would be to just teach the JSON module to recognize a __json__ method. Presumably if a robust serialization solution is created, people will need a way to deserialize back into a named tuple, data class, or custom class. Offhand, the only way I can think of to do this would be to add a field that could be recognized by json.load(). Some care would be needed to not create a pickle-like risk of arbitrary code execution. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42765> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
