r = {'is_claimed': 'True', 'rating': 3.5}
r = json.dumps(r)
file.write(str(r['rating']))
I am not able to access my data in the JSON. What am I doing wrong?
TypeError: string indices must be integers, not str
json.dumps()
converts a dictionary to str
object, not a json(dict)
object! So you have to load your str
into a dict
to use it by using json.loads()
method
See json.dumps()
as a save method and json.loads()
as a retrieve method.
This is the code sample which might help you understand it more:
import json
r = {'is_claimed': 'True', 'rating': 3.5}
r = json.dumps(r)
loaded_r = json.loads(r)
loaded_r['rating'] #Output 3.5
type(r) #Output str
type(loaded_r) #Output dict
