Convert JSON File to Python Object

Convert JSON String to Dictionary Python

Convert Nested JSON Object to Dictionary

Below is the JSON file that we will convert to Python dictionary using json.load() mehtod.

In the below code, firstly we open the “data.json” file using file handling in Python and then convert the file to Python object using the json.load() method we have also print the type of data after conversion and print the dictionary.

Python3

# Python program to demonstrate
# Conversion of JSON data to
# dictionary
 
# importing the module
import json
 
# Opening JSON file
with open('data.json') as json_file:
    data = json.load(json_file)
 
    # Print the type of data variable
    print("Type:", type(data))
 
    # Print the data of dictionary
    print("\nPeople1:", data['people1'])
    print("\nPeople2:", data['people2'])

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.
