Deserialize JSON to Object in Python
Let us see how to deserialize a JSON document into a Python object. Deserialization is the process of decoding the data that is in JSON format into native data type. In Python, deserialization decodes JSON data into a dictionary(data type in python).
We will be using these methods of the json module to perform this task :
- loads() : to deserialize a JSON document to a Python object.
- load() : to deserialize a JSON formatted stream ( which supports reading from a file) to a Python object.
Example 1 : Using the loads() function.
Python3
# importing the moduleimport json# creating the JSON data as a stringdata = '{"Name" : "Romy", "Gender" : "Female"}'print("Datatype before deserialization : " + str(type(data))) # deserializing the datadata = json.loads(data)print("Datatype after deserialization : " + str(type(data))) |
Output :
Datatype before deserialization : Datatype after deserialization :
Example 2 : Using the load() function. We have to deserialize a file named file.json.
Python3
# importing the moduleimport json# opening the JSON filedata = open('file.json',)print("Datatype before deserialization : " + str(type(data))) # deserializing the datadata = json.load(data)print("Datatype after deserialization : " + str(type(data))) |
Output :
Datatype before deserialization : Datatype after deserialization :
