Python works relly nicely with JSON objects so long as all of your keys are nicely labeled and you dont have object or arrays with no key labels:
json = {
"key" : "value",
"anotherkey" : "value"
}
You can access the items really easily:
data = json.loads(json);
But it seems to work much less well, or at least, much less obviously if you have a JSON array of objects:
json = {
"key": "value",
{
"a1key1" : "value",
"a1key1" : "value"
},
{
"a2key1" : "value",
"a2key1" : "value"
},
{
"a3key1" : "value",
"a3key1" : "value"
}
}
To access objects easily within your program, I have found it easiest if you add an additonal step to convert you JSON into a regular python array:
data = json.loads(json)
data = {int(k):v for k,v in data.items() if k.isdigit()}
