I understand, do you think the python standard library should provide a JSONEncoder and JSONDecoder that supports python standard library objects ?

It would be optional to use, but if you use it then any object from the python standard library will just work.

I think a JSONEncoder for standard types would be nice to have.

A JSONDecoder is much more complicated. What would it do? Convert every string that looks like an ISO datetime into a Python datetime object? Or convert objects like `{"type": "datetime", "value": "2020-01-01T12:34:56"}`?
