Getting values from JSON using Python

Question

While I am trying to retrieve values from JSON string, it gives me an error:

data = json.loads('{"lat":444, "lon":555}') return data["lat"] 

But, if I iterate over the data, it gives me the elements (lat and lon), but not the values:

data = json.loads('{"lat":444, "lon":555}')     ret = ''     for j in data:         ret = ret + ' ' + j return ret 

Which returns: lat lon

What do I need to do to get the values of lat and lon? (444 and 555)

Answer 1

If you want to iterate over both keys and values of the dictionary, do this:

for key, value in data.items():     print key, value 

Answer 2

What error is it giving you?

If you do exactly this:

data = json.loads('{"lat":444, "lon":555}') 

Then:

data['lat'] 

SHOULD NOT give you any error at all.
