parsing json in python code example

Example 1: python json string to object

y = json.loads(x)

print(y["age"])

Example 2: how to parse json in python

import json

# some JSON:
x =  '{ "name":"John", "age":30, "city":"New York"}'

# parse x:
y = json.loads(x)

# the result is a Python dictionary:
print(y["age"])

Example 3: read json file python

import json

with open('path_to_file/person.json') as f:
  data = json.load(f)
print(data)

flx = json.dumps(data, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4)
print(flx)

Example 4: golang parsing xml

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "encoding/xml"
    "fmt"
)

type Data struct {
    XMLName    xml.Name `xml:"data" json:"-"`
    PersonList []Person `xml:"person" json:"people"`
}

type Person struct {
    XMLName   xml.Name `xml:"person" json:"-"`
    Firstname string   `xml:"firstname" json:"firstname"`
    Lastname  string   `xml:"lastname" json:"lastname"`
    Address   *Address `xml:"address" json:"address,omitempty"`
}

type Address struct {
    City  string `xml:"city" json:"city,omitempty"`
    State string `xml:"state" json:"state,omitempty"`
}

func main() {
    rawXmlData := "<data><person><firstname>Nic</firstname><lastname>Raboy</lastname><address><city>San Francisco</city><state>CA</state></address></person><person><firstname>Maria</firstname><lastname>Raboy</lastname></person></data>"
    var data Data
    xml.Unmarshal([]byte(rawXmlData), &data)
    jsonData, _ := json.Marshal(data)
    fmt.Println(string(jsonData))
}

Example 5: python to json

# a Python object (dict):
x = {
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "New York"
}

# convert into JSON:
y = json.dumps(x)
