Append dictionary to a list in loop python

Question

I am trying to do something similar to the below code but instead of printing like last line in the code, I am looking for output to display as list of dicts.

import json
studentsList = []
print("Started Reading JSON file which contains multiple JSON document")
with open('students.txt') as f:
    for jsonObj in f:
    studentDict = json.loads(jsonObj)
    studentsList.append(studentDict)
print("Printing each JSON Decoded Object")
for student in studentsList:
    print(studentList) # Output is not looping , I get the following [{'id': 
    1, 'first_name': 'name1'}] but repeated 10 times in row instead it needs 
    to increment id until 10 with 1-10 id). 

Thanks

If you simply want to print the list of dicts, why don't you just do print(studentsList)

It would look like this:

import json
studentsList = []
print("Started Reading JSON file which contains multiple JSON document")
with open('students.txt') as f:
    for jsonObj in f:
      studentDict = json.loads(jsonObj)
      studentsList.append(studentDict)
print("Printing the list of JSON Decoded Objects")
print(studentList)

OUTPUT:

If you want your loop to work:

import json
studentsList = []
print("Started Reading JSON file which contains multiple JSON document")
with open('students.txt') as f:
    for jsonObj in f:
      studentDict = json.loads(jsonObj)
      studentsList.append(studentDict)
print("Printing the list of JSON Decoded Objects")
for student in studentsList:
    print(student)

OUTPUT:

This worked for me to avoid sorting alphabetically the list. pprint messes the sort so had to use below to make it work.

pprint(students_list, sort_dicts=False )
