how to prase a dictionarty object in python?

Question

I am reciving this dictionary object from a react native client. i am using django rest framework as back end. i was to parse the values of pushToken and user object in my django backend.

Here is the object,

{
  'pushToken': { 'type': 'expo', 'data': 'ExponentPushToken[OQ927mOVsi3_j2e]' },
  'user': '{"token":"78d7fa3e903b61ac14c0119c9676b24512","user_id":3,"username":"vitor","email":"vitor@reactnative.com"}',
}

Have you try to copy it? Here is what I got from JSON formatter,

{
   "pushToken":{
      "type":"expo",
      "data":"ExponentPushToken[OQ927mOVsi3_j2e]"
   },
   "user":"{\"token\":\"78d7fa3e903b61ac14c0119c9676b24512\",\"user_id\":3,\"username\":\"vitor\",\"email\":\"vitor@reactnative.com\"}"
}

Try to validate your JSON first then you can dump it.

json.dumps() will convert the dict object to string in order to send via an API, alternatively json.loads() is used to load a JSON string into a dictionary.

json.dump() is a different command where it will ask for a filename where you want to store this JSON.

If it is already a dictionary, try accessing the key-value pairs.

for example say d = {'pushToken': {'type': 'expo', 'data': 'ExponentPushToken[OQ927mOVsi3_j2e]'}, 'user': '{"token":"78d7fa3e903b61ac14c0119c9676b24512","user_id":3,"username":"vitor","email":"vitor@reactnative.com"}'}

d['pushToken']['type'] will give 'expo'
