I think if you look at the python JSON library, it will be clearer.

See: [json — JSON encoder and decoder — Python 3.11.1 documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html)

So, if you have a JSON object, you can convert it into a string (using `json.dumps()`) that can be later converted back into a JSON object (using `json.loads()`) .

Stealing from the documentation:

```auto
>>> import json
>>> json.dumps(['foo', {'bar': ('baz', None, 1.0, 2)}])
'["foo", {"bar": ["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]'

```

and to convert it back:

```auto
>>> import json
>>> json.loads('["foo", {"bar":["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]')
['foo', {'bar': ['baz', None, 1.0, 2]}]

```

Admittedly, it's a bit of a hack, but you do what you got to do...
