🐍"import json" in Python
json = JavaScript Object Notation
In Python, import json
is a statement that allows you to work with JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data. JSON is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate12.Python has a built-in package called json
that provides methods for encoding and decoding JSON data. The json
package can be used to convert JSON data to Python objects and vice versa.
In this example, the json.load()
method is used to read the JSON data from the file data.json
and convert it into a Python dictionary. The with
statement is used to open the file and automatically close it when the block is exited. The data can then be accessed as a Python object using the keys of the dictionary.
