jsonify#

jsonify(obj, verbose=True, die=False, tostring=False, **kwargs)[source]#

This is the main conversion function for Python data-structures into JSON-compatible data structures (note: sc.sanitizejson()/sc.jsonify() are identical).

Parameters:

obj (any) – almost any kind of data structure that is a combination of list, numpy.ndarray, odicts, etc.
verbose (bool) – level of detail to print
die (bool) – whether or not to raise an exception if conversion failed (otherwise, return a string)
tostring (bool) – whether to return a string representation of the sanitized object instead of the object itself
kwargs (dict) – passed to json.dumps() if tostring=True

Returns:

the converted object that should be JSON compatible, or its representation as a string if tostring=True

Return type:

object (any or str)

Example:

data = dict(a=np.random.rand(3), b=dict(foo='cat', bar='dog'))
json = sc.jsonify(data)
jsonstr = sc.jsonify(data, tostring=True, indent=2)
