Python – Convert JSON to string

Data in transmitted across platforms using API calls. Data is mostly retrieved in JSON format. We can convert the obtained JSON data into String data for the ease of storing and working with it.

Let’s see how to convert JSON to String.

Method #1: Json to String on dummy data using “json.dumps”

Python3

import json
 
# create a sample json
 
a = {"name" : "GeeksforGeeks", "Topic" : "Json to String", "Method": 1}
 
# Convert JSON to String
 
y = json.dumps(a)
 
print(y)
print(type(y))

Output:

Method #2: Json to String using an API using requests and “json.dumps”

Python3

import json
import requests
 
# Get dummy data using an API
res = requests.get("http://dummy.restapiexample.com/api/v1/employees")
 
# Convert data to dict
data = json.loads(res.text)
 
# Convert dict to string
data = json.dumps(data)
 
print(data)
print(type(data))
