how to work with json file in python code example
Example 1: python read json file
import json
with open('path_to_file/person.json') as f:
data = json.load(f)
print(data)
Example 2: load json
import json
with open('data.txt') as json_file:
data = json.load(json_file)
Example 3: python json file operations
import json # Imports the json file that we need
with open("jsonfile.json", "r") as jsonFile: # Opens Json file for reading
data = json.load(jsonFile) # Reads Json file using json.load() method
'''
Example Json File:
[{"name": "Bill", "age": 20},
{"name": "Mary", "age": 31},
{"name": "Jake", "age": 19}]
'''
data[1]["age"] = 32 # Alters data variable
'''
Now the data variable is:
[{"name": "Bill", "age": 20},
{"name": "Mary", "age": 32},
{"name": "Jake", "age": 19}]
'''
with open("jsonfile.json", "w") as fileJson: # Opens Json file once again
json.dump(data, fileJson) # Replaces the Json file using json.dump() method
