What is JSON?
JSON stands for "JavaScript Object Notation". It is a widely used data interchange format that is language-agnostic, meaning it can be used in various programming languages including Python and JAVA.
JSON in Python:
Python has a built-in module called JSON. It provides a function for working with JSON data.
Serialization (Python to JSON):
To convert a Python data structure such as a list & dictionary into a JSON string, use json.dumps() function.
import json as js
data = {"name" : "Tom","age": 20}
json_str= js.dumps(data) print(json_str)
Deserialization (JSON to Python):
To convert JSON string to Python data structure, use json.load() function.
import json as js
json_str = '{"name":"Tom","age":20}'
data=js.loads(json_str) print(data["name"])
What is YAML?
YAML stands for "Yet Another Markup Language". It is human human-readable data serialization language. It is often used for configuration but also used for data exchange.
YAML in Python:
The most commonly used Python YAML Parser is PyYAML. It is a library that allows you to load, parse, and write YAML.
Python converts into YAML:
import yaml
data = {"name":"Tom","age":20,"city":"NewYork"}
yaml_data = yaml.dump(data,default_flow_style = False)
YAML convert into Python:
python_data = yaml.safe.load(yaml_data)
print(f"name: {python_data["name"]}")
โTasks:
Create a Dictionary in Python and write it to a json File.
Read a json file
services.json
kept in this folder and print the service names of every cloud service provider.service.json:
{ "aws": { "name": "ec2" }, "azure": { "name": "VM" }, "gcp": { "name": "compute engine" } }
Read YAML file using python, file
services.yaml
and read the contents to convert yaml to json.In next article, will start our Docker journey....
