The json package can encode python objects as strings with the json.JSONEncoder class, and decodes strings into python objects using the json.JSONDecoder class.

Here is an example :

import json

# Convert a dict to a string
json.dumps({"name": "Paul", "age": 24})

# Convert a string to a dict
json.loads('{"name": "Paul", "age": 24}')
