bytes to json

[DeaD_EyE]

import json

mesages = [{"id": "1", "txt": "message 1", "start_date": "2014-02-09", "start_time": "16:20", "duration": "01:00"}]
payload = json.dumps(mesages).encode("ascii")
print(payload)
print(type(payload))

# json can also loads bytes
# but here the encoding is not explicit
data = json.loads(payload)

data2 = json.loads(payload.decode("ascii"))

print(data2)

Output:
b'[{"id": "1", "txt": "message 1", "start_date": "2014-02-09", "start_time": "16:20", "duration": "01:00"}]'
<class 'bytes'>
