Certified Professional in Python Programming (PCPP-32-101) — Question 13

In the JSON processing context, the term serialization:

Answer options

• A. names a process in which Python data is turned into a JSON string
• B. names a process in which a JSON string is turned into Python data
• C. refers to nothing, because there is no such thing as JSON serialization
• D. names a process in which a JSON string is remodeled and transformed into a new JSON string

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because serialization specifically describes the conversion of Python data types into JSON format, allowing for data interchange. Option B is incorrect as it describes deserialization, the opposite process. Option C is false because JSON serialization is a recognized concept, and option D incorrectly defines serialization, which does not involve remodeling a JSON string.
