+
+#     If ``ensure_ascii`` is false, then the strings written to ``fp`` can
+#     contain non-ASCII characters if they appear in strings contained in
+#     ``obj``. Otherwise, all such characters are escaped in JSON strings.
+
+#     If ``check_circular`` is false, then the circular reference check
+#     for container types will be skipped and a circular reference will
+#     result in an ``RecursionError`` (or worse).
+
+#     If ``allow_nan`` is false, then it will be a ``ValueError`` to
+#     serialize out of range ``float`` values (``nan``, ``inf``, ``-inf``)
+#     in strict compliance of the JSON specification, instead of using the

+
+#     If ``indent`` is a non-negative integer, then JSON array elements and
+#     object members will be pretty-printed with that indent level. An indent
+#     level of 0 will only insert newlines. ``None`` is the most compact
+#     representation.
+
+#     If specified, ``separators`` should be an ``(item_separator, key_separator)``
+#     tuple.  The default is ``(', ', ': ')`` if *indent* is ``None`` and
+#     ``(',', ': ')`` otherwise.  To get the most compact JSON representation,
+#     you should specify ``(',', ':')`` to eliminate whitespace.
+
+#     ``default(obj)`` is a function that should return a serializable version
+#     of obj or raise TypeError. The default simply raises TypeError.
+
+#     If *sort_keys* is true (default: ``False``), then the output of
+#     dictionaries will be sorted by key.
+
+#     To use a custom ``JSONEncoder`` subclass (e.g. one that overrides the
+#     ``.default()`` method to serialize additional types), specify it with
+#     the ``cls`` kwarg; otherwise ``JSONEncoder`` is used.
