Answer 1

"\n".join(item[0] for item in my_list)

However, what's this got to do with JSON...?

Answer 2

I am not exactly sure what you want, but you may try:

nested_list = [ ["abc"], ["pqr"], ["xyz"] ]
data = "\n".join( (item[0] for item in nested_list) )

This will convert your list of lists into a string separated by newline characters.
