python: json.dumps can't handle utf-8?

Question

Below is the test program, including a Chinese character:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import json

j = {\"d\":\"中\", \"e\":\"a\"}
json = json.dumps(j, encoding=\         


        

Answer 1

Use simplejson with the mentioned options:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import simplejson as json

j = {"d":"中", "e":"a"}
json = json.dumps(j, ensure_ascii=False, encoding="utf-8")

print json

Outs:

{"e": "a", "d": "中"}
