PYTHON JSON: ENCODE AND DCODE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Date posted :16\/05\/2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is json:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
JSON <\/strong>stands for J<\/strong>avaS<\/strong>cript O<\/strong>bject N<\/strong>otation. It may be a string or text format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
JSON is similar to python dictionary. Python has a inbuilt library for JSON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Converting python data into JSON is called encoding. dump() method used to encode the python data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import json\n\n x = {\n \"name\": \"YYY\",\n \"age\": 45,\n \"married\": True,\n \"children\": (\"Alice\",\"AAA\"),\n \"pets\": ['Dog'],\n \"cars\": [\n {\"model\": \"ROLS\", \"mpg\": 15.1},\n {\"model\": \"ZZZ\", \"mpg\": 18.1}\n ]\n }\n# sorting result in asscending order by keys:\n sorted_string = json.dumps(x, indent=4, sort_keys=True)\n print(sorted_string)\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Output:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Decoding:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Decoding is done with the help of load() and loads() methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import json # json library imported\n# json data string\nperson_data = '{ \"value\": { \"name\": \"YYY\", \"sex\": \"male\", \"age\": 28}}'\n# Decoding or converting JSON format in dictionary using loads()\ndict_obj = json.loads(person_data)\nprint(dict_obj)\n# check type of dict_obj\nprint(\"Type of dict_obj\", type(dict_obj))\n# get human object details\nprint(\"VALUES\", dict_obj.get('value'))\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Output:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
