Python: converting a list of dictionaries to json

use json library

import json
json.dumps(list)

by the way, you might consider changing variable list to another name, list is the builtin function for a list creation, you may get some unexpected behaviours or some buggy code if you don't change the variable name.

import json

list = [{'id': 123, 'data': 'qwerty', 'indices': [1,10]}, {'id': 345, 'data': 'mnbvc', 'indices': [2,11]}]

Write to json File:

with open('/home/ubuntu/test.json', 'w') as fout:
    json.dump(list , fout)

Read Json file:

with open(r"/home/ubuntu/test.json", "r") as read_file:
    data = json.load(read_file)
print(data)
#list = [{'id': 123, 'data': 'qwerty', 'indices': [1,10]}, {'id': 345, 'data': 'mnbvc', 'indices': [2,11]}]
