Method default

simplejson/encoder.py:271–290

Implement this method in a subclass such that it returns a serializable object for ``o``, or calls the base implementation (to raise a ``TypeError``). For example, to support arbitrary iterators, you could implement default like this:: def default(self,

(self, o)

        self.encoding = encoding

    def default(self, o):
        """Implement this method in a subclass such that it returns
