If you are reading the data from the Internet instead, the same techniques can generally be used with the response you get from your HTTP API (it will be a file-like object); however, it is heavily recommended to use the third-party Requests library instead, which includes built-in support for JSON requests.

Beware that .load is for files; .loads is for strings. See also: Reading JSON from a file. Occasionally, a JSON document is intended to represent tabular data.

Jan 13, 2018 · I kept following JSON in the S3 bucket test: { 'Details': "Something" } I am using the following code to read this JSON and printing the key Details: s3 = boto3.resource('s3', ...

Basically, I think it's a bug in the json.dump() function in Python 2 only - It can't dump a Python (dictionary / list) data containing non-ASCII characters, even you open the file with the encoding = 'utf-8' parameter. (i.e.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work in Python 3. json.load is just a wrapper around json.loads that calls read() for a file-like object. json.loads requires a string object and the output of urllib.urlopen(url).read() is a bytes object. So one has to get the file encoding in order to make it work in Python 3.

Oct 3, 2014 · Beside that, the code is passing file object, while json.loads accept a string. Pass a file content: json_data = json.loads(json_file.read()) or use json.load which accepts file-like object. json_data = json.load(json_file)

While each entry is a JSON entry, the file as a whole is a valid JSON file. For example: "1":"Action" is proper JSON format, but you cannot load it on its own. In order to be able to import it as a JSON format, you'll need the full syntax of it {"1":"Action"} What you'll need to do is still load the whole file, then assign first 10 lines to a ...
