Hello,

What about adding in the json package the ability for an object to provide a different object to serialize ? This would be useful to translate a class into a structure that can be passed to json.dumps How about letting json use the reduce protocol instead?

How would you then write a class that works with both pickle and json ?

IMO, we'd need a separate method to return a JSON version of the object, e.g. .json(). I'm not sure how deserialization could be handled, since JSON doesn't support arbitrary object types.
