python json get code example

Example 1: print json python

import json

uglyjson = '{"firstnam":"James","surname":"Bond","mobile":["007-700-007","001-007-007-0007"]}'

#json.load method converts JSON string to Python Object
parsed = json.loads(uglyjson)

print(json.dumps(parsed, indent=2, sort_keys=True))

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

Example 4: python dict to json

# app.py

import json

appDict = {
  'name': 'messenger',
  'playstore': True,
  'company': 'Facebook',
  'price': 100
}
app_json = json.dumps(appDict)
print(app_json)

Example 5: json.loads

>>> import json
>>> json.loads('["foo", {"bar":["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]')
['foo', {'bar': ['baz', None, 1.0, 2]}]
>>> json.loads('"\\"foo\\bar"')
'"foo\x08ar'
>>> from io import StringIO
>>> io = StringIO('["streaming API"]')
>>> json.load(io)
['streaming API']

Example 6: json.dumps python

example={
    "Playlists": [
        "Default"
    ],
    "Default": [
        "Resources\\Media\\C.mp3",
        "Resources\\Media\\K.mp3"
    ]
}
import json
json_file_path=input('Enter the path: ')
with open(json_file_path,'w') as hand:
     json.dumps(example,hand,indent=4) 
'''# dict,file_pointer,indentation'''
