   >I just remembered that I wrote a Python JSON canonicalizer a long time ago. The basics are: sort keys when serializing, no added whitespace, strings are Unicode NFD normalized encoded in UTF-8, and floats are serialized using dtoa.c (or similarly compatible code, ie, 1.1 is printed as 1.1, not as 1.100000000000000088817842).

   We fixed some of this with a recent CVE, but it doesn't address the original request.
