[issue19837] Wire protocol encoding for the JSON module

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Changing return type based on argument *values* is still a bad idea in
general.

It also makes it hard to plug the API in to generic code that is designed
to work with any dump/load based serialisation protocol.

MvL suggested a json.bytes submodule (rather than a separate top level
module) in the other issue and that sounds reasonable to me, especially
since json is already implemented as a package.
