Possible features for 2.6
New modules in the standard library:
- JSON implementation
Have there been any plans made for which one? All of the
No. This was something I added as a nice to have for 2.6.
I'd like to tentatively elevate it to a must have. There has been
overwhelming support for this on web-sig.
implementations I'm aware of (cjson, simplejson, jsonlib, demjson,
python-json) have serious issues that in my opinion should be fixed
before inclusion in the standard library[1]. I am the author of
jsonlib, and am willing to write patches for whichever implementation
becomes the standard, but it would be very nice to know what to focus
on.
I'm not familiar enough with any of the libraries to comment. If it's
premature to add a particular implementation, that's fine, we can
wait.
On web-sig, the overwhelming majority wants simplejson, since that's
the API they already use. (All current web frameworks use it.)
Apologies if this has been discussed already, but there was no link to
a PEP in 361 and a search of python-dev and c.l.p returned no relevant
results.
I don't believe it has been discussed before. I've changed the
subject and would like to discuss this now.
It would be great if you could pull together and get the community
behind a single solution that is robust enough to include in the
stdlib. If that an be finished for 2.6, great. If it waits for 2.7,
that would still be fine.
This is happening on web-sig as we speak.

* cjson and python-json have almost complete absense of Unicode support.
* simplejson is slow and writes incorrect unicode escapes.
* demjson is far too forgiving when parsing and accepts all sorts of
invalid input.
* jsonlib is not PEP 8-compliant and has terrible error handling.
* python-json is abandoned, slow, and lacks Unicode support.
