I cannot seem to find a good solution to my problem - accented characters in my JSON object. Here is a minimalistic example:

Code: Select all

import ujson
exampleJSON = ujson.loads(
    '{ \n' \
  '"Name": "Á" \n'\
'}\n')

>>> exampleJSON
{'Name': '\xc1'}
>>> print(bytes(ujson.dumps(exampleJSON), 'utf-8'))
b'{"Name": "\xc3\x81"}'

The documentation I found does not detail any encoding options: https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/ ... ujson.html
Google did not give any relevant hits, maybe my keywords were not useful.

Thanks.

This looks correct to me. Can you explain what your problem/question is? If you were expecting something different, what is it?

(In case it helps, \xc1 = \u00c1 in a string literal is the character with Unicode code point 0xc1, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE, and \xc3\x81 in a bytes literal is the same thing encoded in UTF-8. loads() and dumps() convert between strings and object structures containing strings, there is no encoding involved.)
