BUG: OverflowError when JSON serializing a dataframe/series with PeriodArray variable #58236
Description
Pandas version checks
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import pandas as pd
pd.DataFrame({'Date':pd.period_range("2000-01-01", periods=2)}).to_json() # one error
pd.Series(pd.period_range("2000-01-01", periods=2)).to_json() # another errorIssue Description
Both lines give the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/pandas/pandas/core/generic.py", line 2542, in to_json
return json.to_json(
File "/home/pandas/pandas/io/json/_json.py", line 201, in to_json
).write()
File "/home/pandas/pandas/io/json/_json.py", line 252, in write
return ujson_dumps(
OverflowError: Maximum recursion level reached
Note a PeriodIndex is fine (a similar bug, #46683, was fixed).
Expected Behavior
Valid json output.
