json.dumps save some unicode chars as code, not char - buran - Aug-02-2018
I use
with open('docs_new.json', 'w') as f:
f.write(json.dumps(my_json, indent=2))to write a json object to a file. Some chars are printed as unicode, not chars, e.g. \u201cCreate a new App\u201d instead of “Create a new App”Part of it was in the original json file and was correct, part of text comes from scraping a website. In both cases in the result file it writes the code.
when I print my_json object, it looks ok.
I'm stuck, what is wrong?
Using python3.5, Linux Mint

OK, found it
with open('docs_new.json', 'w') as f:
f.write(json.dumps(my_json, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False))
