试着用一个例子来解析它:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import datetime
import json

import dateutil.parser  # pip install python-dateutil


class JSONEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):

    def default(self, obj):
        if isinstance(obj, datetime.datetime):
            return obj.isoformat()
        return super(JSONEncoder, self).default(obj)


def test():
    dts = [
        datetime.datetime.now(),
        datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone(-datetime.timedelta(hours=4))),
        datetime.datetime.utcnow(),
        datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc),
    ]
    for dt in dts:
        dt_isoformat = json.loads(json.dumps(dt, cls=JSONEncoder))
        dt_parsed = dateutil.parser.parse(dt_isoformat)
        assert dt == dt_parsed
        print(f'{dt}, {dt_isoformat}, {dt_parsed}')
        # 2018-07-22 02:22:42.910637, 2018-07-22T02:22:42.910637, 2018-07-22 02:22:42.910637
        # 2018-07-22 02:22:42.910643-04:00, 2018-07-22T02:22:42.910643-04:00, 2018-07-22 02:22:42.910643-04:00
        # 2018-07-22 06:22:42.910645, 2018-07-22T06:22:42.910645, 2018-07-22 06:22:42.910645
        # 2018-07-22 06:22:42.910646+00:00, 2018-07-22T06:22:42.910646+00:00, 2018-07-22 06:22:42.910646+00:00


if __name__ == '__main__':
    test()

将日期转换为字符串

sample['somedate'] = str( datetime.utcnow() )

这是我的完整的解决方案转换datetime JSON和回来..

import calendar, datetime, json

def outputJSON(obj):
    """Default JSON serializer."""

    if isinstance(obj, datetime.datetime):
        if obj.utcoffset() is not None:
            obj = obj - obj.utcoffset()

        return obj.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
    return str(obj)

def inputJSON(obj):
    newDic = {}

    for key in obj:
        try:
            if float(key) == int(float(key)):
                newKey = int(key)
            else:
                newKey = float(key)

            newDic[newKey] = obj[key]
            continue
        except ValueError:
            pass

        try:
            newDic[str(key)] = datetime.datetime.strptime(obj[key], '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
            continue
        except TypeError:
            pass

        newDic[str(key)] = obj[key]

    return newDic

x = {'Date': datetime.datetime.utcnow(), 34: 89.9, 12.3: 90, 45: 67, 'Extra': 6}

print x

with open('my_dict.json', 'w') as fp:
    json.dump(x, fp, default=outputJSON)

with open('my_dict.json') as f:
    my_dict = json.load(f, object_hook=inputJSON)

print my_dict

输出

{'Date': datetime.datetime(2013, 11, 8, 2, 30, 56, 479727), 34: 89.9, 45: 67, 12.3: 90, 'Extra': 6}
{'Date': datetime.datetime(2013, 11, 8, 2, 30, 56, 479727), 34: 89.9, 45: 67, 12.3: 90, 'Extra': 6}

JSON文件

{"Date": "2013-11-08 02:30:56.479727", "34": 89.9, "45": 67, "12.3": 90, "Extra": 6}

这使我能够导入和导出字符串，int，浮点和datetime对象。 扩展到其他类型应该不难。

我可能不是百分百正确， 这是实现序列化的简单方法

#!/usr/bin/python
import datetime,json

sampledict = {}
sampledict['a'] = "some string"
sampledict['b'] = datetime.datetime.now()

print sampledict   # output : {'a': 'some string', 'b': datetime.datetime(2017, 4, 15, 5, 15, 34, 652996)}

#print json.dumps(sampledict)

'''
output :

print type(afterdump) #<type 'str'>


afterloads = json.loads(afterdump)

2018年更新

最初的答案适应了MongoDB“date”字段的表示方式:

{" $日期":1506816000000}

如果你想要一个通用的Python解决方案来将datetime序列化为json，请查看@jjmontes的答案，这是一个不需要依赖的快速解决方案。

当你在使用mongoengine(每个注释)而pymongo是一个依赖时，pymongo有内置的实用工具来帮助json序列化: http://api.mongodb.org/python/1.10.1/api/bson/json_util.html

示例用法(序列化):

from bson import json_util
import json

json.dumps(anObject, default=json_util.default)

示例用法(反序列化):

json.loads(aJsonString, object_hook=json_util.object_hook)

Django

Django提供了一个原生的DjangoJSONEncoder序列化器来正确地处理这类问题。

看到https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/serialization/ djangojsonencoder

from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder

return json.dumps(
  item,
  sort_keys=True,
  indent=1,
  cls=DjangoJSONEncoder
)

我注意到DjangoJSONEncoder和使用自定义默认之间的一个区别:

import datetime
import json

def default(o):
    if isinstance(o, (datetime.date, datetime.datetime)):
        return o.isoformat()

return json.dumps(
  item,
  sort_keys=True,
  indent=1,
  default=default
)

Django剥离了一些数据:

 "last_login": "2018-08-03T10:51:42.990", # DjangoJSONEncoder 
 "last_login": "2018-08-03T10:51:42.990239", # default

所以，在某些情况下，你可能需要小心。

我通常使用orjson。不仅因为它出色的性能，还因为它对datetime的强大支持(符合RFC-3339):

import orjson # via pip3 install orjson
from datetime import datetime

data = {"created_at": datetime(2022, 3, 1)}

orjson.dumps(data) # returns b'{"created_at":"2022-03-01T00:00:00"}'

如果你想使用datetime。没有tzinfo作为UTC的datetime对象，您可以添加相关选项:

orjson.dumps(data, option=orjson.OPT_NAIVE_UTC) # returns b'{"created_at":"2022-03-01T00:00:00+00:00"}'
