I'm trying to add key value pairs into the existing JSON file. I am able to concatenate to the parent label, How to add value to the child items?
JSON file:
{
"students": [
{
"name": "Hendrick"
},
{
"name": "Mikey"
}
]
}
Code:
import json
with open("input.json") as json_file:
json_decoded = json.load(json_file)
json_decoded['country'] = 'UK'
with open("output.json", 'w') as json_file:
for d in json_decoded[students]:
json.dump(json_decoded, json_file)
Expected Results:
{
"students": [
{
"name": "Hendrick",
"country": "UK"
},
{
"name": "Mikey",
"country": "UK"
}
]
}
You can do the following in order to manipulate the dict
the way you want:
for s in json_decoded['students']:
s['country'] = 'UK'
json_decoded['students']
is a list
of dictionaries that you can simply iterate and update in a loop. Now you can dump the entire object:
with open("output.json", 'w') as json_file:
json.dump(json_decoded, json_file)
import json
with open("input.json", 'r') as json_file:
json_decoded = json.load(json_file)
for element in json_decoded['students']:
element['country'] = 'UK'
with open("output.json", 'w') as json_out_file:
json.dump(json_decoded, json_out_file)
Moved writing to output file inside to first with
segment. Issue with earlier implemenation is that json_decoded
will not be instantiated if opening of input.json
fails. And hence, writing to output will raise an exception - NameError: name 'json_decoded' is not defined
This gives [None, None]
but update the dict:
a = {'students': [{'name': 'Hendrick'}, {'name': 'Mikey'}]}
[i.update({'country':'UK'}) for i in a['students']]
print(a)
