Can't parse json file: json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Extra data.

Question

I have a json file. A simplified version of it looks as following:

{
  \"host\": \"a.com\",
  \"ip\": \"1.2.2.3\",
  \"port\": 8
}
{
  \"host\":         


        

Answer 1

As you already found out: that is not valid JSON.
You have to modify it to make it valid, specifically, you have to wrap your top-level objects in an array. Try this:

import json
from pprint import pprint

with open('myfile.json') as f:
    data = json.loads("[" + 
        f.read().replace("}\n{", "},\n{") + 
    "]")

    print(data)
