JSON serializing Mongodb

Question

I am using the python package pymongo to retrieve data from a mongodb database.

>>> r = collection.find()   # returns an object of class \'Cursor\'
         


        

Answer 1

This thread helped me - thank you.

Wanted to share my final solution to get the JSON back into a JSON/Dictionary Object: (Based on your example)

from bson.json_util import dumps, loads
r = collection.find()
l = list(r) # Converts object to list
d = dumps(l) # Converts to String
dict_needed = loads(d[0]) # Serializes String and creates dictionary

Now you have the JSON in a dictionary object and can edit as needed.
