JSON Dump and JSON Load

[foxholenoob]

So to expand on this question. My fix worked on my first class but the second class threw an error saying (object not serializable).

So on my second class I went back to this:

warMapStaticDump = json.dumps(warMapStatic, default=lambda x: x.__dict__, indent=4)

And here is the class in question:

class fxWarMapStatic:
    def __init__(self, mapName):
        self.mapName = mapName
        self.regionId = None
        self.eTag = None
        self.scorchedVictoryTowns = None
        self.lastUpdated = None
        self.version = None
        self.mapTextItems = []

Now I can have multiple of these objects. Each one being unique and read in from a separate JSON file.

So to try and import them back in I ran the following:

        with open(warMapStaticDataDump, 'r') as j:
            fxWarConquest.fxWarMapStatics.append(json.loads(j.read()))

This appears to be working its not and I think my ignorance of Python is where I don't understand what its doing.

If you look at the screenshot below its putting ticks around all the variables of the class. Is this because when I use:

default=lambda x: x.__dict__

Its converting my object to dictionaries and when I bring it back in it places everything correctly but as dictionary objects not variables? Once again, I might be butchering all these terms.

I've done a lot of googling and from what I gathered exporting the object out as JSON can be easy but bringing it back in is where things can get complicated and might not be as easy as a single line of code.
