Hello, how do I solve this problem?
import json
def write_json(new_date, filename='data.json'):
try:
with open(filename, 'r+') as file:
#First we load existing data into a dict. (Önce mevcut verileri bir dict'e yüklüyoruz)
file_data = json.load(file)
file_data["emp_details"].append(new_date)
# Sets file's current position at offset. (Dosyanın geçerli konumunu ofset olarak ayarlar.)
file.seek(0)
# convert back to json. (Json'a dönüştür.)
json.dump(file_data, file, indent=4)
# python object to be appended (Eklenecek python nesnesi)
except json.decoder.JSONDecodeError:
return
y = {"emp_name":"Nikhil",
"email": "[email protected]",
"job_profile": "Full Time"
}
write_json(y)
Error:
raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
Your current snippet raise different error
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "***", line **, in <module>
write_json(y)
File "***", line **, in write_json
file_data["emp_details"].append(new_date)
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str
file_data = json.load(file)
When you do this
file_data it's a dictionary.
Then on line-11 can not use
.append as that method is only for list.
For dictionary can use
.update
Don't use
try: except with return nothing,when test out stuff want to see all errors.
Quick test working.

#pprint(file_data)
file.seek(0)
json.dump(file_data, file, indent=4)

I'm sorry, the code I gave you is wrong. No blocks try and except.

I'm getting the same mistake again. Could it be that when we turn it on to read mode, the "data.json" file is empty and gives it this error?

You don't show content of
data.json.
Here is my test with a random
validated json file.
data.json before:
{
"devDependencies": {
"eslint": "^6.8.0",
"eslint-config-prettier": "^6.10.1",
"prettier": "^2.0.2"
},
"scripts": {
"eslint": "eslint . --fix",
"eslint:check": "eslint .",
"lint": "npm run prettier && npm run eslint"
},
"dependencies": {
"@jsxtools/resize-observer": "^1.0.4"
}
}import json
from pprint import pprint
def write_json(new_date, filename='data.json'):
with open(filename, 'r+') as file:
file_data = json.load(file)
#print(file_data)
file_data["scripts"].update(new_date)
#pprint(file_data)
file.seek(0)
json.dump(file_data, file, indent=4)
if __name__ == '__main__':
y = {
"emp_name": "Nikhil",
"email": "[email protected]",
"job_profile": "Full Time",
}
write_json(y)data.json after:
Output:

If the json file is not empty, the yes code does not give an error

If start with empty file can not use
json.load(file) on that file.
Make the the structure you want first with a dictionary,then
json.dump to make it json file.
Example.
import json
from pprint import pprint
def write_json(new_date, filename='d.json'):
json_make = {}
with open(filename, 'r+') as file:
json_make["emp_details"] = new_date
file.seek(0)
json.dump(json_make, file, indent=4)
if __name__ == '__main__':
y = {
"emp_name": "Nikhil",
"email": "[email protected]",
"job_profile": "Full Time",
}
write_json(y)Output:
{
"emp_details": {
"emp_name": "Nikhil",
"email": "[email protected]",
"job_profile": "Full Time"
}
}
