more pythonic way to format a JSON string from a list of tuples

Question

Currently I\'m doing this:

def getJSONString(lst):
    join = \"\"
    rs = \"{\"
    for i in lst:
        rs += join + \'\"\' + str(i[0]) + \'\":\"\' + str         


        

Answer 1

I think this is a much simple solution. Courtesy w3 schools https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_json.asp

import json

some JSON:

x =  '{ "name":"John", "age":30, "city":"New York"}'

parse x:

y = json.loads(x)

the result is a Python dictionary:

print(y["age"])
