Python | Convert dictionary object into string
Dictionary is an important container and used almost in every code of day-day programming as well as web-development, more it is used, more is the requirement to master it and hence knowledge of its operations is necessary.
Let’s see the different ways of changing dictionary into string.
Methods #1: Using json.dumps()
json.dumps() is an inbuilt function in json library.It has advantage over pickle because it has cross-platform support.

# Python code to demonstrate# to convert dictionary into string# using json.dumps() import json # initialising dictionarytest1 = { "testname" : "akshat", "test2name" : "manjeet", "test3name" : "nikhil"} # print original dictionaryprint (type(test1))print ("initial dictionary = ", test1) # convert dictionary into string# using json.dumps()result = json.dumps(test1) # printing result as stringprint ("\n", type(result))print ("final string = ", result) |
Output:
initial dictionary = {‘testname’: ‘akshat’, ‘test2name’: ‘manjeet’, ‘test3name’: ‘nikhil’} final string = {“testname”: “akshat”, “test2name”: “manjeet”, “test3name”: “nikhil”}
Methods #2: Using str()
The str() function converts the specified value into a string.

Output:
initial dictionary = {‘test2name’: ‘manjeet’, ‘testname’: ‘akshat’, ‘test3name’: ‘nikhil’} final string = {‘test2name’: ‘manjeet’, ‘testname’: ‘akshat’, ‘test3name’: ‘nikhil’}
