I know that, list can be converted into JSON by using json.dumps[mylist].
But how can I convert something like this into JSON ?
[["abc", "bcd", "cde"] , ["pgr", "xyz"]]

json.dumps can handle nested data structures, too.6Reply

It worked. How can do the revert process.
I'm recieving a nested lists as a JSON value for a JSON key.This is the string I receive. "[['a','b','c','d'],['x','y','z']]"
I need to make this a list. [['a','b','c','d'],['x','y','z']] I tried convert it with this. But it gives me an error. from io import StringIO io = StringIO[my_string] print[json.load[io]] Traceback [most recent call last]: File "/home/pankaja/PycharmProjects/bookdigitizer/testing/test1json.py", line 9, in print[json.load[io]] File "/home/pankaja/anaconda3/envs/research_project/lib/python3.6/json/__init__.py", line 299, in load parse_constant=parse_constant, object_pairs_hook=object_pairs_hook, **kw] File "/home/pankaja/anaconda3/envs/research_project/lib/python3.6/json/__init__.py", line 354, in loads return _default_decoder.decode[s] File "/home/pankaja/anaconda3/envs/research_project/lib/python3.6/json/decoder.py", line 339, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode[s, idx=_w[s, 0].end[]] File "/home/pankaja/anaconda3/envs/research_project/lib/python3.6/json/decoder.py", line 357, in raw_decode raise JSONDecodeError["Expecting value", s, err.value] from None json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 3 [char 2] 1Reply1 more reply

Doesn't JSON need strings to be double quoted?

Are you trying to flatten it before you dump it?1Reply

Think of a json as a python dictionary with a few less features. Luckily for you json can deal with arrays filled with arrays.
All you need is to put your array in a dictionary and Dumps will just return a valid json string
json.dumps[{key: myArray}]1Reply
