Description

In the standard Python3 JSON library (https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html), json.dump() or json.dumps() support the default keyword argument which specifies how to serialize non-standard data types.

default (callable | None) – A function that is called for objects that can’t otherwise be serialized. It should return a JSON encodable version of the object or raise a TypeError. If None (the default), TypeError is raised.

Currently, this is not implemented:

>>> json.dumps({}, default=None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: extra keyword arguments given

I think this will be a useful addition. Thanks!
