Using python-zabbix-utils to send JSON data

[deajan]

Hello,

First of all, sorry if this question is off-topic, I'm kind of a newcommer to Zabbix.
I've been tasked to use python-zabbix-utils in order to send data to a Zabbix server.
So far, I understood that I have to create a ItemValue object list which I can then use with Sender.

A more seasoned Zabbix user told me that Zabbix supports JSON input, which would obviously make things quite easier for me since the JSON data already exists in the software I'm working on.

Yet, I'm pretty sure that Zabbix needs a communication protocol which I could not just emulate with POST requests, especially when using PSK.

Is there some codepath in python-zabbix-utils which allows sending JSON data to a Zabbix server ?

Thanks for any insight.

[EDIT] When I refer to JSON input, I mean not Zabbix protocol formatted JSON[/EDIT]
