How to store values in list from json in python. Example

**test.json**
{
  "keyword":[
  {
    "name": "Shakti",
    "jobRequisition": "156235",
    "listofKeyWord": {
      "name": "JavaScript",
      "mandatory": false
    }
  },
  {
    "name": "Pavan",
    "jobRequisition": "652378",
    "listofKeyWord":
      {
        "name": "Java",
        "mandatory": true
      }
  },
  {
    "name": "Manali",
    "jobRequisition": "872347",
    "listofKeyWord": {
      "name": "Python",
      "mandatory": false
    }
  }
]
}

--Python Code-- I want read name and mandatory elements from above json and store in

mandatory_list = []
optional_list = []

example: for 1st object

  "listofKeyWord": {
      "name": "JavaScript",
      "mandatory": false
    }

how to check if value for key mandatory is false the name JavaScript should go in optional_list variable and if mandatory is true it should go in mandatory_list variable.

Final output based on above Json:

optional_list = ['Javascript','Python']

mandatory_list = ['Java']

You can use json library.

import json

f = open('data.json')
data = json.load(f)

then your Keyword value will be a list, so you can proceed normally as you would with a list.

Concerning your task:

mandatory_list = []
optional_list = []

for keyword in data['keyword']:
    listOfKeyword = keyword['listofKeyWord']
    mandatory = listOfKeyword['mandatory']
    if(mandatory):
        mandatory_list.append(listOfKeyword['name'])
    else:
        optional_list.append(listOfKeyword['name'])

And the output is:

mandatory_list ['Java']
optional_list ['JavaScript', 'Python']

import json
data = {
    "Name": "Dev",
    "Occupation": "Engineer"
}
dict_1 = json.dumps(data) 
print(dict_1)
