how to implement nested item in scrapy?

Question

I am scraping some data with complex hierarchical info and need to export the result to json.

I defined the items as

class FamilyItem():
    name =

Not sure if there's a way to do nested items in scrapy with classes but arrays work fine. You could do something like this:

grandson = Grandson(name = 'Grandson', age = 2)

son = Son(name = 'Son', grandsons = [grandson])

item = Item(name = 'Name', son = [son])
