That makes sense. OTHO, if we drop the idea of having a __magical__ method, we could have an collections' ABC instead, called JSONSerializable, with one method to override,
This is more about declaring the interface rather than adding yet another __magic__ method
That's a nice OOP pattern to have imho
Python is supposed to be duck-typed. It would be strange to add a couple of random exceptions to that general rule. Moreover, having to *both* derive an existing class and implement the single method defined on that class is one complication too many. And I don't see how `__json__` is more annoying than e.g. `to_json`. Regards Antoine.
