Python Dictionary as Valid jSon?

Question

in python I have:

dict = {}
dict['test'] = 'test'

when I print I get:

{'test':'test'}

How can I make it like this:

{"test":"test"}

Please Note, replace won't work as test may be test't...

I tried:

dict = {}
dict["test"] = "test"

Python's standard library has a module specifically for working with JSON, please do basic research before asking on SO. — jonrsharpe, Jan 12 '22 at 10:00
You can use the `json` module as shown [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/32824345/11078962). — JMad, Jan 12 '22 at 10:01
Googling "python json" would have given you the answer after a few seconds. Posting this question was more effort than doing the research. — luk2302, Jan 12 '22 at 10:05

You can use json.dumps() For example, if you use print json.dumps(dict) you should get the desired output.

Additionally, as suggested in a different related question, you may construct your own version of a dict with special printing:
