I Want to deserialize to a object of cla

Answer 1

There are different methods to deserialize json string to an object. All above methods are acceptable but I suggest using a library to prevent duplicate key issues or serializing/deserializing of nested objects.

Pykson, is a JSON Serializer and Deserializer for Python which can help you achieve. Simply define Payload class model as JsonObject then use Pykson to convert json string to object.

from pykson import Pykson, JsonObject, StringField

class Payload(pykson.JsonObject):
    action = StringField()
    method = StringField()
    data = StringField()

json_text = '{"action":"print","method":"onData","data":"Madan Mohan"}'
payload = Pykson.from_json(json_text, Payload)
