I have this sample json data in a list:
data = [
{ "Name": "John_Doe", "Age" : 25 }
{ "Name": "Jane_Roe", "Age" : 26 }
]
I need a way to extract the all the key value pairs from an element in the list based on the 'Name' Key. If my variable = 'John_Doe', then the script should only return the values related to John_Doe, i, e only the following values :
{ "Name": "John_Doe", "Age" : 25 }
Just extract all the dictionaries with the value "John_Doe" associated with the key "Name":
print([d for d in data if d['Name'] == "John_Doe"])
# [{ "Name": "John_Doe", "Age" : 25 }]
Or with filter():
print(list(filter(lambda x : x['Name'] == "John_Doe", data)))
# [{ "Name": "John_Doe", "Age" : 25 }]
If all you need is the dict with a Name element matching John_Doe, then:
matches = [m for m in data if "Name" in m and m["Name"] == "John_Doe"]
You can unroll this list comprehension to see what it does:
matches = []
for m in data:
if "Name" in m and m["Name"] == "John_Doe":
matches.append[m]
def get_details(data, name):
for i in data:
if i['Name'] == name:
return i
return {}
data = [{"Name": "John_Doe", "Age" : 25 },{"Name": "Jane_Roe", "Age" : 26 }]
name = "John_Doe"
get_details(data, name)
output:
{'Age': 25, 'Name': 'John_Doe'}
[x for x in data if x["Name"]=="John_Doe"]?
