I have a following JSON string coming from external input source:
{value: "82363549923gnyh49c9djl239pjm01223", id: 17893} This is wrong-formatted JSON string ("id" and "value" must be in quotes), but I need to parse it anyway. I have tried simplejson and json-py and seems they could not be set up to parse such strings.
I am running Python 2.5 on Google App engine, so any C-based solutions like python-cjson are not applicable.
Input format could be changed to XML or YAML, in adition to JSON listed above, but I am using JSON within the project and changing format in specific place would not be very good.
Now I've switched to XML and parsing the data successfully, but looking forward to any solution that would allow me to switch back to JSON.

The Python "json. decoder. JSONDecodeError: Extra data" occurs when we try to parse multiple objects without wrapping them in an array. To solve the error, wrap the JSON objects in an array or declare a new property that points to an array value that contains the objects.
Instead of the JSON loads method, which reads JSON strings, the method used to read JSON data in files is load(). The load() method takes up a file object and returns the JSON data parsed into a Python object. To get the file object from a file path, Python's open() function can be used.
since YAML (>=1.2) is a superset of JSON, you can do:
>>> import yaml >>> s = '{value: "82363549923gnyh49c9djl239pjm01223", id: 17893}' >>> yaml.load(s) {'id': 17893, 'value': '82363549923gnyh49c9djl239pjm01223'} If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
