You are passing a dictionary to a function that expects a string.
This syntax:
{"('Hello',)": 6, "('Hi',)": 5}
is both a valid Python dictionary literal and a valid JSON object literal. But loads doesn't take a dictionary; it takes a string, which it then interprets as JSON and returns the result as a dictionary (or string or array or number, depending on the JSON, but usually a dictionary).
If you pass this string to loads:
'''{"('Hello',)": 6, "('Hi',)": 5}'''
then it will return a dictionary that looks a lot like the one you are trying to pass to it.
You could also exploit the similarity of JSON object literals to Python dictionary literals by doing this:
json.loads(str({"('Hello',)": 6, "('Hi',)": 5}))
But in either case you would just get back the dictionary that you're passing in, so I'm not sure what it would accomplish. What's your goal?
import json
data = json.load(open('/Users/laxmanjeergal/Desktop/json.json'))
jtopy=json.dumps(data) #json.dumps take a dictionary as input and returns a string as output.
dict_json=json.loads(jtopy) # json.loads take a string as input and returns a dictionary as output.
print(dict_json["shipments"])
Hey I recently faced this issue while reading the JSON file directly. Just putting it out here if anyone faces this issue while reading json file and then parsing it:
I got this error while working with Django REST framework. I used the PostgreSQL materialized view built using native function json_build_object. The error disappeared when I switched to the function jsonb_build_object.
