JysonEncodeMappings

How jyson maps jython objects to JSON objects.

Jyson maps jython objects to JSON objects according to the following table.

Jython object	Implementation type	JSON type	Example	Notes
None	org.python.core.Py.None	null	None=>null
True, False	org.python.core.Py.True, org.python.core.Py.False	true,false	True=>true
int	org.python.core.PyInteger	number	42=>42
long	org.python.core.PyLong	number	42L=>42
float	org.python.core.PyFloat	number	42.0=>42.0
str	org.python.core.PyString	string	‘Hello World!’=>"Hello World!"
dict	org.python.core.PyDictionary, org.python.core.PyStringMap	object	{’hello’: 1, ‘world’: 2}=>{"hello": 1, “world”: 2}	Only dictionaries with string keys can be encoded, as according to the JSON spec. Any attempt to encode a dictionary with a non-string key will cause a JysonEncodeException. The values in a dictionary can be any JSON encodable type, including tuples, lists and dictionaries.
list	org.python.core.PyList	array	[1, 42, ‘Hello world!’]=>[1, 42, “Hello world!”]	List elements may be of any JSON encodable type, including tuples, lists and dictionaries
tuple	org.python.core.PyTuple	array	(1, 42, ‘Hello world!’)=>[1, 42, “Hello world!”]	Tuple elements may be of any JSON encodable type, including tuples, lists and dictionaries
