JSON

[belred at gmail.com]

i tried a couple python json libraries. i used simplejson on the
server and was using cjson on the client, but i ran into this issue.
i'm now using simplejson on both sides, but i'm still interested in
this issue.  did i do something wrong? is there a bug in one of the
libraries? or something i don't understand about the json spec?


i problem is the line where i call cjson.decode() below:

>>> import simplejson
>>> import cjson
>>>
>>> sj = simplejson.dumps('http://server.com')
>>> sj
'"http:\\/\\/server.com"'
>>> cj = cjson.encode('http://server.com')
>>> cj
'"http://server.com"'
>>> simplejson.loads(cj)
u'http://server.com'
>>> cjson.decode(cj)
'http://server.com'
>>> simplejson.loads(sj)
u'http://server.com'
>>> cjson.decode(sj)
'http:\\/\\/server.com'     # is this correct????


is that last statement really correct?

thanks,
