Which JSON module can I use in Python 2.5?

Question

I would like to use Python\'s JSON module. It was only introduced in Python 2.6 and I\'m stuck with 2.5 for now. Is the particular JSON module provided with Python 2.6 avail

Answer 1

I wrote the cjson 1.0.6 patch and my advice is don't use cjson -- there are other problems with cjson in how it handles unicode etc. I don't think the speed of cjson is worth dealing with the bugs -- encoding/decoding json is usually a very small bit of the time needed to process a typical web request...

json in python 2.6+ is basically simplejson brought into the standard library I believe...
