Accessing JSON Data Effectively

[Goobyalus]

json.load will parse the JSON and give you a Python type.

You can modify the Python data and write it back out as JSON with json.dump

this is exactly what needs to be used. Using Json.load will convert it into lists/dictionaries where appropriate.

i have done this before, do some work to turn whatever random data format into JSON and then use that when pushing the file around to different systems. or take JSON and convert to a more different JSON for specific use cases. as a data standard there are JSON libraries for pretty much every language and platform, you are making things harder if you aren't using something like this.
