Summary0004342: JSON Serializer creates invalid JSON files for DICOM tags
Description

While not strictly speaking a Slicer problem, the issue could pose major issues for archiving or sending information via JSON from DICOM.
The json serializer creates invalid JSON files if there are DICOM tags involved since it incorrectly uses the string representation of these TupleTags (a tuple) which is not supported in JSON. There is no error or warning message given and the data must be manually reworked in order to be read in again. The problem arose when trying to save all the header tags from a working set of images into a JSON for later post-processing.

Steps To Reproduce

import json
from dicom.tag import TupleTag
out_json_str = json.dumps(TupleTag((123,456))) # '(007b, 01c8)'
json.loads(out_json_str) # ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

Additional Information

In Python 3.6 with dicom 0.9.9 it works correctly returning 8061384 for the JSON loads (since the tag is a subtype of long)

TagsNo tags attached.
