How to Append Multiple Json objects into single consolidated Json output object

Time:12-26

I have two datasets as following and which are in Json format.

Emp_DT = json.dumps({'Employee_Details': [j1]}, indent=2, sort_keys=True)

Emp_HR = json.dumps({'Employee_HR_Hierarchy': [j2]}, indent=2, sort_keys=True)

Now i want to combine these two to have a single Json output with Object name "Employee".

Expected Output

Below are the two datasets which I want to combine together to get a consolidated JSon output

print(Emp_DT)

"Employee_Details": 
{
   "Name": "John Smith",
    "Age": 32,
    "Department": "Sales",
    "Salary": 30000,
    "DOJ": 12-06-2020
}   

print(Emp_HR)

  "Employee_HR_Hierarchy": 
  {
    "Emp Name": "John Smith",
    "1st Manager Name": "Richard",
    "2nd Manager Name": "Paul"
  }

This code:

import json

Emp_DT = {
            "Name": "John Smith",
            "Age": 32,
            "Department": "Sales",
            "Salary": 30000,
            "DOJ": "12-06-2020"
}

Emp_HR = {
            "Emp Name": "John Smith",
            "1st Manager Name": "Richard",
            "2nd Manager Name": "Paul"
}

emp1 = {
        "Employee_Details": Emp_DT,
        "Employee_HR_Hierarchy": Emp_HR
}

emps= {}
emps["Employee"] = emp1

emps_json_string = json.dumps(emps, indent=4)
print(emps_json_string)

Produces this output:

{
    "Employee": {
        "Employee_Details": {
            "Name": "John Smith",
            "Age": 32,
            "Department": "Sales",
            "Salary": 30000,
            "DOJ": "12-06-2020"
        },
        "Employee_HR_Hierarchy": {
            "Emp Name": "John Smith",
            "1st Manager Name": "Richard",
            "2nd Manager Name": "Paul"
        }
    }
}

Which is what you have asked for (?)


In addition, I would recommend formatting the code with meaningful names and a logical structure. For example, since the data here is of one employee, I would have named Emp_DT as employee_1_details and Emp_HR as employee_1_HR. And when saving it to the dictionary of all employees, it is probably better to go for emps["employee_1"] = emp1 instead of emps["Employee"] = emp1.

Finally, I would recommend reading PEP8 when you have time.
