python object to json Object of type ndarray is not JSON serializable code example

Example: TypeError: Object of type ndarray is not JSON serializable

import numpy as np
import codecs, json 

a = np.arange(10).reshape(2,5) # a 2 by 5 array
b = a.tolist() # nested lists with same data, indices
file_path = "/path.json" ## your path variable
json.dump(b, codecs.open(file_path, 'w', encoding='utf-8'), separators=(',', ':'), sort_keys=True, indent=4) ### this saves the array in .json format
