Python/Json:Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes

Question

I\'ve been trying to figure out a good way to load JSON objects in Python. I send this json data:

{\'http://example.org/about\': {\'http://purl.org/dc/terms/         


        

Answer 1

as JSON only allows enclosing strings with double quotes you can manipulate the string like this:

str = str.replace("\'", "\"")

if your JSON holds escaped single-quotes (\') then you should use the more precise following code:

import re
p = re.compile('(?

This will replace all occurrences of single quote with double quote in the JSON string str and in the latter case will not replace escaped single-quotes.

You can also use js-beautify which is less strict:

$ pip install jsbeautifier
$ js-beautify file.js
