Can someone explain to me why one of these forms of code works and the other doesn't?
when i write
import json
with open("python.json") as data_in_file:
print (data_in_file)
I get the error
MacBook-Air-4:risd_programming BCohen$ python3 reading_multiple_json_files.py
<_io.TextIOWrapper name='python.json' mode='r' encoding='UTF-8'
>
if I write
import json
with open("python.json") as data_in_file:
I get an error of
MacBook-Air-4:risd_programming BCohen$ python3 reading_multiple_json_files.py
File "reading_multiple_json_files.py", line 11
^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
But if I write this
import json
with open("python.json") as data_in_file:
for data_in_file in data_in_file:
p = json.loads(data_in_file)
print(p["created_at"])
everything is fine and dandy, why is that? Also why in the one above does the for loop need to contain the same variable i.e. data_in_file in data_in_file? why can't i write
for x in data_in_file:
??
Please note the json file looks like this:
