[Chicago] REST API to Python Class?

[Aaron Elmquist]

here's a json doc example with an object_hook from
https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html

Specializing JSON object decoding:

>>>
>>> import json
>>> def as_complex(dct):
...     if '__complex__' in dct:
...         return complex(dct['real'], dct['imag'])
...     return dct
...
>>> json.loads('{"__complex__": true, "real": 1, "imag": 2}',
...     object_hook=as_complex)
(1+2j)
>>> import decimal
>>> json.loads('1.1', parse_float=decimal.Decimal)
Decimal('1.1')
