Python json.loads ValueError, expecting delimiter

Question

I am extracting a postgres table as json. The output file contains lines like:

{\"data\": {\"test\": 1, \"hello\": \"I have \\\" !\"}, \"id\": 4}
         


        

Answer 1

Try the ways source.replace('""', '') or sub it, cause "" in the source will make json.loads(source) can not distinguish them.
