JSON (JavaScript object notation) is a syntax for storing and exchanging data.
Convert from JSON to 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"])
Convert from Python to JSON
import json # a Python object (dict): x = { "name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York" } # convert into JSON: y = json.dumps(x) # the result is a JSON string: print(y)
Convert from Python class to JSON
