How to use json file that placed in the python project?

Question

I have project in Pycharm, and I want to use json file that placed in this project.

How can I call it?

I use this one:

import json

file = open('~/PycharmProjects/Test/JSON_new.json')
x = json.load(file)

And received the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '~/PycharmProjects/Test/JSON_new.json'

But path is correct

EDIT: I understood what is the problem. Instead of json file txt was created (but I selected json). It creates txt files, maybe, someone knows hot to solve it? I can create only.py files directly. Other files no.

Is it correct if I create scratch json file and placed it in Scratches?

Answer 1

You may like to use following path(In linux):

file = open('/home/<user>/PycharmProjects/Test/JSON_new.json')

Replace user with your username. You need to know the correct path to the file, for which you can user PWD command in terminal.

Answer 2

You can use json module for this. You can open the file in a seperate object and pass it to json.load if you have a JSON string use json.loads .

import json

file = open('/path/to/json/file.json')

file_opened = json.load(file)
