Remove simplejson

[davidism]

In modern Python it's unlikely to be significantly better than the built-in json. The module used by JSONMixin is overridable, so users can plug it in again if they want.

See pallets/itsdangerous#146 and pallets/werkzeug#1766.

@davidism if this issue open can I pick it up?

[davidism]

Sorry, it's already assigned to me, I'm working on it. You're welcome to work on any unassigned issues without PRs on any Pallets project.

Sure Np! I'll look for some other issue.

Hi,

I'm relying on simplejson to serialize decimal.Decimal objects when calling to jsonify. In fact, jsonify it's called by flask-smorest which I'm using for building my API. What would be the recommended way (if any) to force jsonify to keep using simplejson?

Regards,

from simplejson import JSONEncoder

app.json_encoder = JSONEncoder
