dump json into yaml

Question

I got a .json file (named it meta.json) like this:

{     "main": {         "title": "今日は雨が降って",         "description": "今日は雨が降って"     } } 

I would like to convert it to a .yaml file (named it meta.yaml) like :

title: "今日は雨が降って" description: "今日は雨が降って" 

What I have done was :

import simplejson as json import pyyaml  f = open('meta.json', 'r') jsonData = json.load(f) f.close()  ff = open('meta.yaml', 'w+') yamlData = {'title':'', 'description':''} yamlData['title'] = jsonData['main']['title'] yamlData['description'] = jsonData['main']['description'] yaml.dump(yamlData, ff) # So you can  see that what I need is the value of meta.json      

But sadly, what I got is following:

{description: "\u4ECA\u65E5\u306F\u96E8\u304C\u964D\u3063\u3066", title: "\u4ECA\u65E5\ \u306F\u96E8\u304C\u964D\u3063"} 

Why?

Answer 1

pyyaml.dump() has "allow_unicode" option, it's default is None, all non-ASCII characters in the output are escaped. If allow_unicode=True write raw unicode strings.

yaml.dump(data, ff, allow_unicode=True) 

bonus

json.dump(data, outfile, ensure_ascii=False)
