[New-bugs-announce] [issue31155] Encode set, frozenset, bytearray, and iterators as json arrays

[Javen O'Neal]

New submission from Javen O'Neal:

Currently json.dump, json.dumps, and json.JSONEncoder do not support writing iterator objects. Users can choose to pass the iterator to a tuple and write that as a json array, but this is wasteful if the iterator is large, requiring a large amount of memory to be temporarily allocated for the tuple prior to json encoding.

The json module also does not support writing sets, frozensets, or bytearrays.
