Find a value within nested json dictionary in python

Question

From the following json, in python, I\'d like to extract the value \"TEXT\". All the keys are constant except for unknown. Unknown could be any string like \"a6784t66\" or \

Answer 1

As you said that unknown was at a fixed place You can do the following

import json
s=json.loads('{"A":{"B":{"unknown":{"1":"F","maindata":[{"Info":"TEXT"}]}}}}')
i=s["A"]["B"].keys()
x=i[0]   # Will store 'unknown' in x, whatever unknown is
print s['A']['B'][x]['maindata'][0]['Info']    #here x dictionary index is used after B as its value will be the value for unknown

This should do the job, since only the unknown key is really 'unknown'
