Parsing nested JSON data

Question

This JSON output is from a MongoDB aggregate query. I essentially need to parse the nested data JSON down to the following to the \'total\' and \'_id\'

The response you are getting from the mongodb seems to be the compatible to put for the dictionary type object. as

{
    'ok': 1.0,  'result': [
        {
            'total': 142250.0, 
            '_id': 'BC'
        }, 
        {
            'total': 210.88999999999996,
             '_id': 'USD'
        }, 
        {
            'total': 1065600.0, 
            '_id': 'TK'
        }
    ]
}

Instead of putting it into multiline string and replacing single quotes in double quotes, can't we directly assign it to the dict type object. and perform further operation on it like:

json_data = {
    'ok': 1.0,
    'result':
        [
            {
                'total': 142250.0,
                '_id': 'BC'
            },
            {
                'total': 210.88999999999996,
                '_id': 'USD'
            },
            {
                'total': 1065600.0,
                '_id': 'TK'
            }
    ]
}

And:

for data in json_data['result']:
    print(data['total'], data['_id'])
