How to Construct JSON from JPATH

Question

I am working on parsing a text file having list of json paths from which I want to construct JSON.

This is how I am started.

def construct_json(jpath):
    tokens = jpath.strip().split('.')
    json = ''
    for token in tokens:
        if len(token.split('=')) == 2:
            json = json + '"' + token.split('=')[0] +'"' + ':' + '"' + token.split('=')[1] + '"}}}}'
        else:
            json = json + '"'+token+'":{'
    return '{'+json

jpaths_text = 'quiz.sport.q1.question=Which one is correct team name in NBA?,quiz.sport.q1.question=Which one is correct team name in Soccer?'
jpaths = jpaths_text.split(',')

questions = []
for jpath in jpaths:
    questions.append(construct_json(jpath))

print questions

Above program gives me following output:

['{"quiz":{"sport":{"q1":{"question":"Which one is correct team name in NBA?"}}}}', '{"quiz":{"sport":{"q1":{"question":"Which one is correct team name in Soccer?"}}}}']

What I want is all q1 in list. something like following:

{
    "quiz": {
        "sport": {
            "q1": [{
                "question": "Which one is correct team name in NBA?"
            }, {
                "question": "Which one is correct team name in Soccer?"
            }]
        }
    }
}

Any help/clue will be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

well if the structure will be the same structure as that Example then you can use something like this:

ls = ['{"quiz":{"sport":{"q1":{"question":"Which one is correct team name in NBA?"}}}}',
      '{"quiz":{"sport":{"q1":{"question":"Which one is correct team name in Soccer?"}}}}']

d = {"quiz": {
    "sport": {
        "q1": []
    }

}}
for dic in ls:
    q1 = json.loads(dic).get('quiz').get('sport').get("q1")
    d.get('quiz').get('sport').get('q1').append(q1)

print(d)

Answer 2

import json def extract_questions(jpaths_text): questions_path = 'quiz.sport.q1.question=' questions = { 'quiz': { 'sport': { 'q1': [], }, }, } for jpath in jpaths_text.split(','): if jpath.find(questions_path) == 0: questions['quiz']['sport']['q1'].append( jpath.replace(questions_path, '')) return questions jpaths_text = 'quiz.sport.q1.question=Which one is correct team name in NBA?,quiz.sport.q1.question=Which one is correct team name in Soccer?' questions = extract_questions(jpaths_text) questions_json = json.dumps(questions) print(questions_json)
