The string format used in N-triples is very similar to that used in JSON (see http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntrip_strings).  It would be handy if json.dumps could (optionally) follow the N-triples format.  The differences are

1) In \u escapes, the hexadecimal digits must be capitalized.
2) N-triples uses \u escapes instead of \b and \f

I'm not sure there's any sense in trying to bend the json module into producing other formats.

Feature creep would not be good for the json module.

Agreed.  The purpose of the json module is clearly defined, and there is room for other modules to address other problems (like yaml).  It should be easy to write a Python function to convert a string to its N-triples serialization.

I agree that the json module should stick with the json definition. Adding other stuff would take it even further from simplejson.
A conversion function, if short enough, could be posted on the cookbook.
