JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a popular data format used for data exchange between applications. Python supports JSON manipulation through the json
module, allowing you to convert between Python data and JSON format.
Here are the steps for working with JSON in Python:
Convert Python data to JSON
Use json.dumps()
: Convert a Python object (list, dictionary, tuple, etc.) to a JSON string.
Use json.dump()
: Write Python data to a JSON file.
Convert JSON to Python data
Use json.loads()
: Convert a JSON string to a Python object (list, dictionary, tuple, etc.).
Use json.load()
: Read data from a JSON file and convert it to Python data.
Example:
Note that when using JSON, special Python data types like None
, True
, False
will be converted to their corresponding JSON representations: null
, true
, false
, respectively.
