Serializing Python Objects to be Read by Other Languages

Explore how to serialize Python objects for cross-language compatibility using JSON. Understand JSON's text-based format, encoding rules, and pretty-print options to share data across different programming languages effectively.

We'll cover the following...

The data format used by the pickle module is Python-specific. It makes no attempt to be compatible with other programming languages. If cross-language compatibility is one of your requirements, you need to look at other serialization formats. One such format is JSON. “JSON” stands for “JavaScript Object Notation,” but don’t let the name fool you — json is explicitly designed to be usable across multiple programming ...
