Python - Add to json list via Python

Question

My json file

{
   \"people\": []
}

My python code

with open(\"people.json\") as jsonFile:
    load = json.load(jsonFile)
    d         


        

Answer 1

You haven't written anything back into the file. Open up the file in write mode (open("people.json", r+)), then after you append the data, you'll need to json.dump the new dictionary into the file.

Also, no need to do jsonFile.close() at the end. Your with statement deals with that.
