Json file decode in python

Question

I'm working with python, I have a json structure into a dictionary and I have exported it into a file. Now I need to reload the structure from the file, I want to reload it into a dictionary (in order to update it) but I'm experiencing some problems. This is my code:

#export the structure
with open('data.json','w') as f:
    data = {}
    data['test'] = '1'
    f.write(json.dumps(data))

#reload the structure
with open('data.json','r') as f:
    dict = {}
    dict = json.loads(f.read())

The error is: No JSON object could be decoded.

Answer 1

Try

with open('data.json', 'w') as f:
    f.write(json.dumps(data))

with open('data.json', 'r') as f:
    json.load(f)
