first time pyton user - help with json

[korenron]

Hello ,
I want to read a json file and get 2 objects form the file (username and IP )
the config.json is :

Output:
{
"IP":"172.16.3.1",
"username" : "admin",
"password" : "Root",
"Remote":"172.16.3.254",
"internalNumber":31",
"comId":2,
}

how do I do this?
this is what I did to read the all file :

1 2 3 4 5

import json   with open('/home/pi/Documents/config.json') as json_file:     data = json.load(json_file)     print(data)

I have also try to use:

1 2	j = json.loads('/home/pi/Documents/config.json')     print (j['IP'])

but I get error

so what am I missing?


Thanks,

if that's the actual json file - it's not a valid one
look at "internalNumber":31"
it should be "internalNumber":31 or "internalNumber":"31"

and your first snippet would work.

the second one would not work - you need to read the entire file as string and pass it this string to json.loads(), not the filepath

The json file is missing " and has an extra , on the end

Output:
{
"IP":"172.16.3.1",
"username" : "admin",
"password" : "Root",
"Remote": "172.16.3.254",
"internalNumber": "31",
"comId": 2
}

Works
