Python json.loads ValueError, expecting delimiter

Question

I am extracting a postgres table as json. The output file contains lines like:

{\"data\": {\"test\": 1, \"hello\": \"I have \\\" !\"}, \"id\": 4}
         


        

Answer 1

for my instance, i wrote:

STRING.replace("': '", '": "').replace("', '", '", "').replace("{'", '{"').replace("'}", '"}').replace("': \"", '": "').replace("', \"", '", "').replace("\", '", '", "').replace("'", '\\"')

and works like a charm.
