pythin: how do I convert string to json python

Question

I have below data , how can I convert user data to json in python?

results= [
            {
                "created_at": 1632712032050,
                "user": "{\"id\": \"12\", \"name\": \"test\"}"
            },
            {
                "created_at": 1632712032050,
                "user": "{\"id\": \"13\", \"name\": \"test\"}"
            }
         ]

expected output:

results= [
            {
                "created_at": 1632712032050,
                "user": {"id": "12", "name": "test"}
            },
            {
                "created_at": 1632712032050,
                "user": {"id": "13", "name": "test"}
            }
         ]

try `import json; json_str = json.dumps(data_structure_root)` to convert data structure to json string. The inverse operation of converting a json string into a data structure is `data_structure_root = json.loads(json_str)` — SomethingSomething, Oct 21 '21 at 09:05

Use the json module of python

import json

results= [
            {
                "created_at": 1632712032050,
                "user": "{\"id\": \"12\", \"name\": \"test\"}"
            }
         ]

print(results) #in string format

results[0]['user'] = json.loads(results[0]['user'])

print(results) #after parsing its now json dictionary/object

You actually did the *opposite* of what the OP asked for, but the OP is confused and asked for the opposite of what they actually need – juanpa.arrivillaga Oct 21 '21 at 08:54
