Saving a JSON File in Python
The full-form of JSON is JavaScript Object Notation. It means that a script (executable) file which is made of text in a programming language, is used to store and transfer the data. Python supports JSON through a built-in package called json. The text in JSON is done through quoted-string which contains the value in key-value mapping within { }.
This module provides a method called dump() which converts the Python objects into appropriate json objects.
import json # python object(dictionary) to be dumped dict1 ={ "emp1": { "name": "Lisa", "designation": "programmer", "age": "34", "salary": "54000" }, "emp2": { "name": "Elis", "designation": "Trainee", "age": "24", "salary": "40000" }, } # the json file where the output must be stored out_file = open("myfile.json", "w") json.dump(dict1, out_file, indent = 6) out_file.close() |
Output:

Saving Text, JSON, and CSV to a File in Python
