In response to the additional work required to convert the new python dataclass using the json encoder I propose an __encode__ method that will be included in the default dataclass attributes. This would then be picked up by the default json encoder and called to encode the object. Using a common __encode__ tag would allow the solution to also be applied to custom objects and other new objects without needing to update all json encoders. The __encode__ method would work similar to __repr__ but output a json string of the object.
