Python to JSON Serialization fails on Decimal [duplicate]

Answer 1

I can't believe that no one here talked about using simplejson, which supports deserialization of Decimal out of the box.

import simplejson
from decimal import Decimal

simplejson.dumps({"salary": Decimal("5000000.00")})
'{"salary": 5000000.00}'

simplejson.dumps({"salary": Decimal("1.1")+Decimal("2.2")-Decimal("3.3")})
'{"salary": 0.0}'
