Json representation of a class when passed to a Python method?

Question

Python

In general, I would like that when passing a class to some function, it turns into json. For example, I have a Test class and when passed to requests.get(url=url, data=Test), Test turned into a json object. Is this possible or is it necessary to manually call __repr__() or __str__() on the class ?

It's much better to explicitly add the to_json() method to your class, and call it explicitly.
It will be much easier to implement and understand.
__str__() is for a human-readable representation, and __repr__() is ideally for a string representation that can be eval'ed back into an object.
They do not fit well under serialization to json.
