将基于文本的键/值对转换为 JSON 格式

Question

I have a text file with a lot of key/value pairs in the given format:

secret_key="XXXXX"
database_password="1234"
timout=30
.
.
.
and list continues...

I want these key/value pairs to be stored in a JSON format so that I can make use of this data in the JSON format. Is there any way of doing this. I mean any website or any method to do it automatically?

Answer 1

As I guess that is an .env file. So, I would suggest you try to implement something like this in Python:

import json
import sys

try:
    dotenv = sys.argv[1]
except IndexError as e:
    dotenv = '.env'

with open(dotenv, 'r') as f:
    content = f.readlines()

# removes whitespace chars like '\n' at the end of each line
content = [x.strip().split('=') for x in content if '=' in x]
print(json.dumps(dict(content)))

*Please let me know if you want to implement it in a different language, such as JavaScript.

The Python 3.8 script below would do the job ◡̈

import json

with open('text', 'r') as fp:
    dic = {}
    while line:=fp.readline().strip():
        key, value = line.split('=')
        dic[key] = eval(value)
    print(json.dumps(dic))

Note: eval is used to prevent double quotes being escaped.
