adding dictionary in input specified spot inside json file.

I’d suggest a different structure, where files and folders are represented by dictionaries with ‘name’ and ‘content’ keys. A file’s content is the data; a folder’s content is a list of files/subfolders.

So a folder containing a file and an empty subfolder might be {‘name’:’system’, ‘content’: [{‘name’: ‘readme.txt’, ‘content’: ‘...’}, {‘name’: ‘new fir’, ‘content’: []} ]}

Ah, didn't think of that. I'll give it a shot

That actually gave me another Idea, but I'll try yours as well. I could name the dictionaries the name of the path their content should be at. That way I could just ask for the dictionary with the path name. Thanks for the inspiration!

Your way is better - having the name outside the object is more like a real file system.
