If you control both the producers and the consumers, and they're
both written in Python, then you may as well use pickle and base64
(and an HMAC!) to convert your python data to an opaque ASCII
string and just transmit that string. Why bother with JSON and
all of its verbosity and restrictions in the first place?
If interoperability is a concern, then how much does this sort of
thing complicate your JSON and all of the other
producers/consumers? Will their applications, standard libraries,
and best practices "just work"?
What if it's to be produced and consumed by your app (so, no
interoperability), but you want it to be human-readable and
human-editable? JSON is pretty good for that.
True, but I don't think the stdlib needs to cater to that requirement
when there are hooks to write your own customizations.
