Module Contents
---------------

.. py:function:: dump(obj, stream, separators=None) -> _typeshed.Incomplete

   Serialise *obj* to a JSON string, writing it to the given *stream*.

   If specified, separators should be an ``(item_separator, key_separator)``
   tuple. The default is ``(', ', ': ')``. To get the most compact JSON
   representation, you should specify ``(',', ':')`` to eliminate whitespace.


.. py:function:: dumps(obj, separators=None) -> str

   Return *obj* represented as a JSON string.

   The arguments have the same meaning as in `dump`.


.. py:function:: load(stream) -> _typeshed.Incomplete

   Parse the given *stream*, interpreting it as a JSON string and
   deserialising the data to a Python object.  The resulting object is
   returned.

   Parsing continues until end-of-file is encountered.
   A :exc:`ValueError` is raised if the data in *stream* is not correctly formed.


.. py:function:: loads(str) -> _typeshed.Incomplete

   Parse the JSON *str* and return an object.  Raises :exc:`ValueError` if the
   string is not correctly formed.
