Convert Nested JSON Object to Dictionary
In this example, we will convert the nested JSON into a Python dictionary. For JSON data we will use the same JSON file used in the above example.
Python3
# importing the moduleimport json# Opening JSON filewith open('data.json') as json_file: data = json.load(json_file) # for reading nested data [0] represents # the index value of the list print(data['people1'][0]) # for printing the key-value pair of # nested dictionary for loop can be used print("\nPrinting nested dictionary as a key-value pair\n") for i in data['people1']: print("Name:", i['name']) print("Website:", i['website']) print("From:", i['from']) print() |
Output :
Convert JSON to dictionary in Python
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It means that a script (executable) file which is made of text in a programming language, is used to store and transfer the data. Python supports JSON through a built-in package called JSON. To use this feature, we import the Python JSON package into Python script. The text in JSON is done through quoted-string which contains a value in key-value mapping within { }. It is similar to the dictionary in Python.
Function Used
json.load(): json.load() function is present in Python built-in ‘JSON’ module. This function is used to parse the JSON string.
json.loads(): json.loads() function is present in Python built-in ‘json’ module. This function is used to parse the JSON string.
