Counting the number of objects in an array where the path is deeply nested-CodePudding

I want to count the number of objects in an array. The first one is easy len(d['line_of_businesses']) but it isn't obvious how from the example below I would count how many objects are in the array called commercial_situations which is 3 deep. Thanks, Matt

data = {
"line_of_businesses": [
{
  "asset_groups": {
    "commercial_situations": [
      {
        "asset_id": "d222cecf-af58-465a-9506-e76807d7d9tf"
      }
     ]
    }
   }
 ]
}

The following code will do the job for you. For More Info Click Here

data = {
"line_of_businesses": [
{
  "asset_groups": {
    "commercial_situations": [
      {
        "asset_id": "d222cecf-af58-465a-9506-e76807d7d9tf"
      },
      {
        "asset_id": "1222cecf-af58-465a-9506-e76807d7d9tf"
      }
     ]
    }
   }
 ]
}
print(len(data['line_of_businesses'][0]['asset_groups']['commercial_situations']))

How it works? First get the items in line_of_buisness then this is an array so we need its first element so [0] and inside this we need data of asset_groups so ['asset_groups'] and then inside this we need commercial_situations.
