How to convert following string to JSON in python

Question

How can i convert the below string to JSON using python?

str1 = "{'a':'1', 'b':'2'}"

Answer 1

The json library in python has a function loads which enables you to convert a string (in JSON format) into a JSON. Following code for your reference:

import json

str1 = '{"a":"1", "b":"2"}'
data = json.loads(str1)

print(data)

Note: You have to use ' for enclosing the string, whereas " for the objects and its values.
