 # python-jsonpickle
 
+jsonpickle is a Python library for serialization and deserialization of complex Python objects to and from JSON.
+
+The standard Python libraries for encoding Python into JSON, such as the stdlib’s json, simplejson, and demjson, can only handle Python primitives that have a direct JSON equivalent (e.g. dicts, lists, strings, ints, etc.).
+jsonpickle builds on top of these libraries and allows more complex data structures to be serialized to JSON.
+jsonpickle is highly configurable and extendable–allowing the user to choose the JSON backend and add additional backends.
