Let us see the differences in a tabular form -:
| json.dump() | json.dumps() |
|---|---|
| json.dump() method used to write Python serialized object as JSON formatted data into a file. | json.dumps() method is used to encodes any Python object into JSON formatted String. |
Its syntax is: json.dump(obj, fp, *, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, cls=None, indent=None, separators=None, default=None, sort_keys=False, **kw) | Its syntax is: json.dumps(obj, *, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, cls=None, indent=None, separators=None, default=None, sort_keys=False, **kw) |
| It is used to perform compact encoding to save file space | It takes 7 parameters. |
| It is used to skip nonbasic types while JSON encoding | It can be used with Lists. |
