A JSON5 serializer and parser library for Python 3 written in
Cython <http://cython.org/>_.
The serializer returns ASCII data that can safely be used in an HTML template. Apostrophes, ampersands, greater-than, and less-then signs are encoded as unicode escaped sequences. E.g. this snippet is safe for any and all input:
.. code:: html
"<a onclick='alert(" + encode(data) + ")'>show message</a>"
Unless the input contains infinite or NaN values, the result will be valid
JSON <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259>_ data.
All valid JSON5 1.0.0 <https://spec.json5.org/>_ and
JSON <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259>_ data can be read,
unless the nesting level is absurdly high.
You can find the full documentation online at https://pyjson5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
Or simply call help(pyjson5). :-)
The library supplies load(s) and dump(s) functions, so you can use it as a
drop-in replacement for Python's builtin json module, but you should
use the functions encode_*() and decode_*() instead.
At least CPython 3.7 or a recent Pypy3 version is needed.
