how to use json in python3 code example
Example 1: how to create json file in python
#import the json module
import json
#create a dictionary which we can add to a json file
dictionary ={
"name" : "sathiyajith",
"rollno" : 56,
"cgpa" : 8.6,
"phonenumber" : "9976770500"
}
#open an object with following inputs: 'name_of_file.json', 'w'
#dump the content fromt he dictionary into the outfile
with open("sample.json", "w") as outfile:
json.dump(dictionary, outfile)
Example 2: 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
