    I think json.dumps would not work if there is a datetime in the dict, right?

      Yeah there’s other edge cases too, like Decimal, but as long as you have those things imported when you send it through dumps it should work.

        Just tried it in an ipython shell

        import datetime
        import json
        
        json.dumps({"a": datetime.datetime(1970,1,1)})
        

        And I got the TypeError: datetime not JSON serializable though.
