Function get string objects instead of Unicode from JSON using obje_hook
see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/956867/how-to-get-string-objects-instead-of-unicode-from-json
This is necessary in python versions less than 3.
usage:
def json_load_byteified(file_handle):
return _byteify(
json.load(file_handle, object_hook=_byteify),
ignore_dicts=True
)
def json_loads_byteified(json_text):
return _byteify(
json.loads(json_text, object_hook=_byteify),
ignore_dicts=True
)
'''
def _byteify(data, ignore_dicts = False):
# if this is a unicode string, return its string representation
if isinstance(data, unicode):
return data.encode('utf-8')
# if this is a list of values, return list of byteified values
if isinstance(data, list):
return [ _byteify(item, ignore_dicts=True) for item in data ]
# if this is a dictionary, return dictionary of byteified keys and values
# but only if we haven't already byteified it
if isinstance(data, dict) and not ignore_dicts:
return {
_byteify(key, ignore_dicts=True): _byteify(value, ignore_dicts=True)
for key, value in data.iteritems()
}
# if it's anything else, return it in its original form
return data
