Introduction In this code snippet, we are going to demonstrate how to read JSON data from file into a Python dictionary data structure. String to JSON The function json.loads can be used to load JSON data from string to dictionary. To load the data from file, we need to convert the file to string. Let
Introduction JSON (Java Script Object Notation) is one of the most popular text formats on the web due to its simplicity, lightweight and adoption. It is used to structure data exchange between web services. You may check the following article for implementing a simple web service using Python. JSON is a subset of the JavaScript
Introduction Converting a list of lists to a dictionary can be useful in certain situations. We can think of a Python list of lists as a database table where the outer list represent the table and the inner lists represent the rows. A database table has a primary key and the rest of the fields

This technique is
Introduction In order for two networked computers to exchange data, a protocol has to be used. A protocol is an agreed method to identify computers (ex. PC, iPhone), applications (ex. browser, web server) and resources (ex. webpage, image, database table). A protocol also facilitates secure (ex. encryption) and reliable (ex. data loss protection) communication. The
Introduction I was testing a client software which communicates with a server software using JSON format. The behavior of the client depends on the instructions specified in the server response. In order to test the client I had to modify the server response and try different scenarios. One way to change the server response is
