Pickle or json?

by

I prefer JSON over pickle for my serialization. Unpickling can run arbitrary code, and using pickle to transfer data between programs or store data between sessions is a security hole. JSON does not introduce a security hole and is standardized, so the data can be accessed by programs in different languages if you ever need to.
