This doc page has more examples:
https://www.psycopg.org/docs/extras.html#json-adaptation

You can use a partial function for instance, of the like of: `lambda
obj: Json(obj, dumps=mydumps)`.

No, if you really want you can subclass the one we provide and only
override `_dumps()`: the one psycopg2 provides consists in pretty
much:

class Json(object):
def __init__(self, adapted, dumps=None):
self.adapted = adapted
self._dumps = dumps or json.dumps

def dumps(self, obj):
return self._dumps(obj)

so you can either create your instances using a wrapper in
register_adapter, or subclass the _dumps() method of the class: as you
can see it is equivalent. I guess the first method is better as you
don't need to care about the implementation of the `Json` class.
