*default(obj)* is a function that should return a serializable version of
*obj* or raise :exc:`TypeError`. The default simply raises :exc:`TypeError`.
If *sort_keys* is ``True`` (default: ``False``), then the output of
dictionaries will be sorted by key.
To use a custom :class:`JSONEncoder` subclass (e.g. one that overrides the
:meth:`default` method to serialize additional types), specify it with the
*cls* kwarg; otherwise :class:`JSONEncoder` is used.

check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, cls=None, \
indent=None, separators=None, default=None, \
sort_keys=False, **kw)
Serialize *obj* to a JSON formatted :class:`str`. The arguments have the
same meaning as in :func:`dump`.
