JSON Encoding and Decoding

Use json.loads, json.dumps, and json.load/dump for JSON I/O.

Introduction

Python's json module converts between Python objects and JSON strings or files with simple, consistent functions.

json.dumps(obj) serializes a Python object to a JSON string. indent=2 pretty-prints it.

import json
d = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30, 'active': True}
print(json.dumps(d, indent=2))
