Scientific notation can be turned off in the output produced by json.dumps in Python by passing the indent parameter to json.dumps() method. For example:

import json

data = {"number": 1000000000}

# Display with scientific notation
print(json.dumps(data))

# Display without scientific notation
print(json.dumps(data, indent=None))

Output:

{"number": 1000000000}
{"number": 1000000000}

In the second call to json.dumps(), the indent parameter is set to None, which disables the formatting of the output and returns it in the most compact form. This prevents the scientific notation for large numbers.
