I'm trying to read Json from a file, than convert to list.But i'm getting error at the beginnig of code, Json.load(). I couldn't figure out. Thanks.
import json
with open("1.txt") as contactFile:
data=json.load(contactFile.read())
1.txt:
[{"no":"0500000","name":"iyte"},{"no":"06000000","name":"iyte2"}]
Error:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 286, in load
return loads(fp.read(),
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read'
json.load() works on a file object, not a string. Use
with open("1.txt") as contactFile:
data = json.load(contactFile)
If you do need to parse a JSON string, use json.loads(). So the following would also work (but is of course not the right way to do it in this case):
with open("1.txt") as contactFile:
data = json.loads(contactFile.read())
json.load accepts a file like object as the first parameter. So, it should have been
data = json.load(contactFile)
# [{u'name':u'iyte', u'no': u'0500000'}, {u'name': u'iyte2', u'no': u'06000000'}]
load and loads. It works now.
open("1.txt", 'r').'r'is the default.
