为什么我解析的JSON转换为列表python？

Question

I am trying to parse a JSON file from an api, and i am not sure why it's converting to a list.

from urllib2 import Request, urlopen
import json
Auth_key = 'get ur own key'
headers = {
  'Authorization': Auth_key
}
request = Request('https://app.com/orders?orderStatus=awaiting_shipment', headers=headers)

def remove_nulls(d):
    d = {k: v for k, v in d.iteritems() if v is not None}
    return { k:v for k, v in d.items() if v }

response_body = urlopen(request).read()

parsed = json.loads(response_body, object_hook=remove_nulls)
jsonData = parsed["orders"]
#print(json.dumps(jsonData, indent=1, sort_keys=True))
print type(jsonData)

When I check "parsed" it's a dict but "jsonData" is not. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You are accessing a key from your dict so it can be any other datatype .

This might be a case with you:

In [91]: jsonData = {'orders': [1, 2, 3, 4], 'others': {}}

In [92]: type(jsonData['orders'])
Out[92]: list
