将带有 json.dumps 的 utf-8 文本保存为 UTF8，而不是 u 转义序列

Saving utf-8 texts with json.dumps as UTF8, not as u escape sequence(将带有 json.dumps 的 utf-8 文本保存为 UTF8，而不是 u 转义序列)

问题描述

Sample code:

>>> import json
>>> json_string = json.dumps("ברי צקלה")
>>> print(json_string)
"u05d1u05e8u05d9 u05e6u05e7u05dcu05d4"

The problem: it's not human readable. My (smart) users want to verify or even edit text files with JSON dumps (and I’d rather not use XML).

Is there a way to serialize objects into UTF-8 JSON strings (instead of uXXXX)?

Use the ensure_ascii=False switch to json.dumps(), then encode the value to UTF-8 manually:

>>> json_string = json.dumps("ברי צקלה", ensure_ascii=False).encode('utf8')
>>> json_string
b'"xd7x91xd7xa8xd7x99 xd7xa6xd7xa7xd7x9cxd7x94"'
>>> print(json_string.decode())
"ברי צקלה"

If you are writing to a file, just use json.dump() and leave it to the file object to encode:

with open('filename', 'w', encoding='utf8') as json_file:
    json.dump("ברי צקלה", json_file, ensure_ascii=False)

Caveats for Python 2

For Python 2, there are some more caveats to take into account. If you are writing this to a file, you can use io.open() instead of open() to produce a file object that encodes Unicode values for you as you write, then use json.dump() instead to write to that file:

with io.open('filename', 'w', encoding='utf8') as json_file:
    json.dump(u"ברי צקלה", json_file, ensure_ascii=False)

Do note that there is a bug in the json module where the ensure_ascii=False flag can produce a mix of unicode and str objects. The workaround for Python 2 then is:

with io.open('filename', 'w', encoding='utf8') as json_file:
    data = json.dumps(u"ברי צקלה", ensure_ascii=False)
    # unicode(data) auto-decodes data to unicode if str
    json_file.write(unicode(data))

In Python 2, when using byte strings (type str), encoded to UTF-8, make sure to also set the encoding keyword:

>>> d={ 1: "ברי צקלה", 2: u"ברי צקלה" }
>>> d
{1: 'xd7x91xd7xa8xd7x99 xd7xa6xd7xa7xd7x9cxd7x94', 2: u'u05d1u05e8u05d9 u05e6u05e7u05dcu05d4'}

>>> s=json.dumps(d, ensure_ascii=False, encoding='utf8')
>>> s
u'{"1": "u05d1u05e8u05d9 u05e6u05e7u05dcu05d4", "2": "u05d1u05e8u05d9 u05e6u05e7u05dcu05d4"}'
>>> json.loads(s)['1']
u'u05d1u05e8u05d9 u05e6u05e7u05dcu05d4'
>>> json.loads(s)['2']
u'u05d1u05e8u05d9 u05e6u05e7u05dcu05d4'
>>> print json.loads(s)['1']
ברי צקלה
>>> print json.loads(s)['2']
ברי צקלה
