Serialising an Enum member to JSON

Question

How do I serialise a Python Enum member to JSON, so that I can deserialise the resulting JSON back into a Python object?

For example, this code:

Answer 1

This worked for me:

class Status(Enum):
    success = 0

    def __json__(self):
        return self.value

Didn't have to change anything else. Obviously, you'll only get the value out of this and will need to do some other work if you want to convert the serialized value back into the enum later.
