How to Extract data from JSON file in Python?

Today, We want to share with you python extract data from json file.In this post we will show you parse, read and write JSON in Python, hear for convert JSON to dict and pretty print it we will give you demo and example for implement.In this post, we will learn about Convert CSV Data To JSON Using JavaScript with an example.

Extract part of data from JSON file with python

Sometimes i need to extract text data from JSON file for our all the products analysis.

here simple creates new products object for each object with:

my_product={}

Moreover, it overwrites the previous contents of the variable. Old products in m_product is deleted from memory.

Try to create a list before your for loop and store the result there.
Example 1:

result = []
for item in json_decode:
    my_product={}
    my_product['title']=item.get('labels').get('en').get('value')
    my_product['description']=item.get('descriptions').get('en').get('value')
    my_product['id']=item.get('id')
    print(my_product)
    result.append(my_product)

Finally, write the result to the output:

back_json=json.dumps(result)

How to read data from JSON file?

Example 2: Read JSON Data for Analysis

import requests
import json
 
response = requests.get("https://api.yourdomainname.com/hc/en-us/uploads/22504785/products.json")
output = response.json()
 
# Extract specific node content.
print(output['pname']['price'])
 
# Dump data as string
data = json.dumps(output)
print(data)

Import json Module

import json

Parse JSON in Python
The using json module creates it simple to parse JSON strings as well as all files containing JSON object.

Example : Python JSON to dict

import json

member = '{"name": "jkpaysys", "moviestype": ["Tamil", "Hindi"]}'
member_dict = json.loads(member)

# Output: {'name': 'jkpaysys', 'moviestype': ['Tamil', 'Hindi']}
print( member_dict)

# Output: ['Tamil', 'Hindi']
print(member_dict['moviestype'])

Example : Python read JSON file
You can use json.load() method to read a file containing JSON object.

For Example, you have a file named member.json which all the data contains a JSON object.

{"name": "jkpaysys", 
"moviestype": ["Tamil", "Hindi"]
}

parse this json file:

import json

with open('path_to_file/member.json') as f:
  data = json.load(f)

# Output: {'name': 'jkpaysys', 'moviestype': ['Tamil', 'Hindi']}
print(data)

Python Convert to JSON string

You can convert a dictionary to JSON string using json.dumps() method.

Convert dict to JSON

import json

member_dict = {'name': 'jkpaysys',
'age': 12,
'children': None
}
member_json = json.dumps(member_dict)

# Output: {"name": "jkpaysys", "age": 12, "children": null}
print(member_json)

Here’s a table showing Python objects and their equivalent conversion to JSON.

Python	JSON Equivalent
dict	object
list, tuple	array
str	string
int, float, int	number
True	true
False	false
None	null

Python pretty print JSON

Example

import json

member_string = '{"name": "jkpaysys", "moviestype": "Tamil", "numbers": [2, 1.6, null]}'

# Getting dictionary
member_dict = json.loads(member_string)

# Pretty Printing JSON string back
print(json.dumps(member_dict, indent = 4, sort_keys=True))

output

{
    "moviestype": "Tamil",
    "name": "jkpaysys",
    "numbers": [
        2,
        1.6,
        null
    ]
}

Writing JSON to a file

import json

member_dict = {"name": "jkpaysys",
"moviestype": ["Tamil", "Hindi"],
"married": True,
"age": 32
}

with open('member.txt', 'w') as json_file:
  json.dump(member_dict, json_file)

When you run the program, the member.txt file will be created. The file has following text inside it.

{"name": "jkpaysys", "moviestype": ["Tamil", "Hindi"], "married": true, "age": 32}
