from_json(source) classmethod

Create this object based on JSON data.

The data is given as the source parameter. It can be:

• a string (or bytes) containing the data directly,
• an open file object where to read the data from, or
• a path (pathlib.Path or string) to a UTF-8 encoded file to read.

The JSON data is first converted to a Python dictionary and the object created using the :meth:from_dict method.

Notice that the source is considered to be JSON data if it is a string and contains {. If you need to use { in a file system path, pass it in as a pathlib.Path instance.

Serialize this object into JSON.

The object is first converted to a Python dictionary using the :meth:to_dict method and then the dictionary is converted to JSON.

The file parameter controls what to do with the resulting JSON data. It can be:

• None (default) to return the data as a string,
• an open file object where to write the data to, or
• a path (pathlib.Path or string) to a file where to write the data using UTF-8 encoding.

JSON formatting can be configured using optional parameters that are passed directly to the underlying json__ module. Notice that the defaults differ from what json uses.
