json.dumps(): escaping forward slashes

Question

Since forward slashes can only occur in strings inside a JSON serialized object and are not escaped (in the default settings), using

json.dump(some_dict).re         


        

Answer 1

Use escape_forward_slashes as per ujson doc,

escape_forward_slashes Controls whether forward slashes (/) are escaped. Default is True:

>>> ujson.dumps("http://esn.me")
'"http:\/\/esn.me"'
>>> ujson.dumps("http://esn.me", escape_forward_slashes=False)
'"http://esn.me"'
