How to print integers as hex strings using json.dumps() in Python

Currently I am using the following code to print a large data structure

print(json.dumps(data, indent=4))

I would like to see all the integ

You could always reparse the json, where you do have some control over int parsing, so that you can override int repr:

class hexint(int):
   def __repr__(self):
     return "0x%x" % self

json.loads(json.dumps(data), parse_int=hexint)

And using the data as in Gerrat's answer, the output is:

{u'test': 0x21, u'this': 0x63, u'something bigger': [0x1, 0x2, 0x3, {u'a': 0x2c}]}
