It will also escape forward slashes and, by default, output the serialized JSON in a compact format, eliminating white spaces. Some convenience functions are also available to encode and decode to and from base64 and to quote or unquote the values. .. autofunction:: encode .. autofunction:: decode .. autofunction:: b64encode .. autofunction:: b64decode .. autofunction:: quote .. autofunction:: unquote .. _Tornado: http://www.tornadoweb.org/
