Python | Ways to convert string to json object
Data send and get generally in a string of dictionary(JSON objects) forms in many web API’s to use that data to extract meaningful information we need to convert that data in dictionary form and use for further operations.
Let’s see some ways to convert string to json.
Method #1: dict object to string object using json.loads
# Python code to demonstrate# converting string to json # using json.loadsimport json # inititialising json objectini_string = {'nikhil': 1, 'akash' : 5, 'manjeet' : 10, 'akshat' : 15} # printing initial jsonini_string = json.dumps(ini_string)print ("initial 1st dictionary", ini_string)print ("type of ini_object", type(ini_string)) # converting string to jsonfinal_dictionary = json.loads(ini_string) # printing final resultprint ("final dictionary", str(final_dictionary))print ("type of final_dictionary", type(final_dictionary)) |
Output:
initial 1st dictionary {'manjeet': 10, 'nikhil': 1, 'akshat': 15, 'akash': 5}
type of ini_object <type 'str'>
final dictionary {'nikhil': 1, 'manjeet': 10, 'akshat': 15, 'akash': 5}
type of final_dictionary <type 'dict'>
Method #2: str object to dict object using eval()
# Python code to demonstrate# converting string to json # using eval # inititialising json object stringini_string = """{'nikhil': 1, 'akash' : 5, 'manjeet' : 10, 'akshat' : 15}""" # printing initial jsonprint ("initial 1st dictionary", ini_string)print ("type of ini_object", type(ini_string)) # converting string to jsonfinal_dictionary = eval(ini_string) # printing final resultprint ("final dictionary", str(final_dictionary))print ("type of final_dictionary", type(final_dictionary)) |
Output:
initial 1st dictionary {'nikhil': 1, 'akash' : 5, 'manjeet' : 10, 'akshat' : 15}
type of ini_object <class 'str'>
final dictionary {'nikhil': 1, 'manjeet': 10, 'akash': 5, 'akshat': 15}
type of final_dictionary <class 'dict'>
