从 json 文件中删除反斜杠

Question

I have a URL that generates a json file when called. The file is dynamic so the contents change with time. I wrote a code to retrieve the file as follows:

page = requests.get(URL)
page1=''
page1='\''+page.text+'\''
page1=page1.replace("\\\"", "\"")
page1=page1.translate({ord('\\'):None})
page1=page1.translate({ord(c): "" for c in "\\"})

with open(FileName, "w") as FileContent:
    json.dump(page1, FileContent)
    FileContent.close()

The problem is the file has \" where ever it is supposed to contain " only (when opened in a json viewer) and i have to remove \ manually for the json to work. And the above coding don't seem to work. How do we implement this and what is wrong in all the above efforts here?

Answer 1

If page.text is JSON, you don't need to do any of this manipulation, just write it to the file.

page = requests.get(URL)
with open(FileName, "w") as FileContent:
    FileContent.write(page.text)

Also, you don't need to use close() when you use with open() . The context manager automatically closes it.

Answer 2

requests.get() returns a response object

If your server returns some body that is JSON, then rather than using .text , you should use .json()

And then, you don't need to escape/replace anything, just dump that to a file as-is

import requests

page = requests.get(URL)
if page.status_code // 100 == 2:
  with open(FileName, "w") as f:
    f.write(page.json())

If your server returns escaped JSON text, then you should fix it there , not in the client
