simplejson 1.6
simplejson is a simple, fast, complete, correct and extensible JSON encoder/decoder for Python 2.3+. It is pure Python code with no dependencies.
simplejson 1.6 is a minor update that improves str support for encoding. Previous versions of simplejson integrated strings directly into the output stream, this version ensures they're of a particular encoding (default is UTF-8) so that the output stream is valid. See the documentation for more information.
