converting mysqli to json - ameliabob - Jul-03-2018 I downloaded a data base table and asked that it be converted into json. What I got was: [{"rowId": 21,"nature": "O","symbol": "TAL","qty": 10,"daysHeld": 0,"source": "Momentum","dayEntered": "2018-01-16","pl": -40}, {"rowId": 22,"nature": "O","symbol": "SGMO","qty": 5,"daysHeld": 35,"source": "Lightning Trend","dayEntered": "2018-02-06","pl": 2300}] When I bring it into Python/json is comes in as a list. How do I get it into a dictionary? Also what is the statement to modify i.e. the pl 2300 to 230? Thanx RE: converting mysqli to json - Larz60+ - Jul-03-2018 you've got a list with one item that is a dictionary you didn't supply much information about your code, nor a code example, so lets assume the name of your converted JSON list is mylist, then if you try: >>> type(mylist) <class 'list'> >>> type(mylist[0]) <class 'dict'> >>> mydict = mylist[0] >>> type(mydict) <class 'dict'> >>> print(mydict) {'rowId': 21, 'nature': 'O', 'symbol': 'TAL', 'qty': 10, 'daysHeld': 0, 'source': 'Momentum', 'dayEntered': '2018-01-16', 'pl': -40} >>> |
