Encoding a .json file for a bytecode vm

Question

I'm trying to make a Bytecode VM in python just for fun, as a hobby project, but i have a problem, how i can encode a json file like this:

{
 "code": [["0xf2", "Hello"], ["0xf3", 1]],
 "constants": []
}

into some file format, something like encrypting, but in some way that it doesn't get so random, i need something more readable but encrypted at the same time.

Does [minifying](https://codebeautify.org/jsonminifier) your JSON file suit you? — Rafael de Bem, Aug 02 '22 at 21:15
What do you mean by "something more readable"? If you're referring to something human-readable, JSON is your friend. You could try to encode your JSON file to [BSON](https://www.mongodb.com/basics/bson#:~:text=BSON%20stands%20for%20Binary%20Javascript,binary%20formats%2C%20like%20Protocol%20Buffers.). — Rafael de Bem, Aug 02 '22 at 22:34
That means, for people that doesn't know Portuguese, that BSON worked good! — Isaac Vinícius, Aug 03 '22 at 22:01
Excellent. I will post the BSON suggestion as an answer for you to mark this question as "answered" — Rafael de Bem, Aug 03 '22 at 22:43

Encoded files and human-readable files are not always compatible. However, I believe that BSON, an encoded JSON variant, is a good solution to your problem.
