I'm writing python variables to json file and I want to include their name with them.
f_name= 'first name'
l_name= 'last name'
import json
with open("file.json", "w") as f:
f.write(f_name+' '+ l_name)
output in json file :
first name last name
I want the output to be like this
[
{
"f_name": "first name",
"l_name": "last name"
}
]
Create the data structure that you want (in your case, a list containing a dictionary), and call json.dump().
with open("file.json", "w") as f:
json.dump([{"f_name": f_name, "l_name": l_name}], f)
Don't use wb mode when creating a JSON file. JSON is text, not binary.
You can create the list of dictionaries, and then use https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json.dump to write it into the file
import json
f_name= 'first name'
l_name= 'last name'
#Create the list of dictionary
result = [{'f_name': f_name, 'l_name': l_name}]
import json
with open("file.json", "w") as f:
#Write it to file
json.dump(result, f)
The content of the json file would look like
[{"f_name": "first name", "l_name": "last name"}]
