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"]}")

❄Tasks:

1. Create a Dictionary in Python and write it to a json File.

   

   

2. 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" } }

   

   

1. Read YAML file using python, file services.yaml and read the contents to convert yaml to json.
