Did you try reading the Fine Manual? It has many examples! For Python 2: https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html or for Python 3: https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html The four functions you are likely to care about are: json.load # read JSON input from a file, return objects json.loads # read JSON input from a string, return objects json.dump # dump JSON output to a file json.dumps # dump JSON output to a string Example: py> import json py> data = {23: None, 42: "Hello World!"} py> s = json.dumps(data) py> print(s) {"42": "Hello World!", "23": null} py> obj = json.loads(s) py> print(obj) {'23': None, '42': 'Hello World!'} -- Steven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
