create valid json object in python

Question

Each line is valid JSON, but I need the file as a whole to be valid JSON.

I have some data which is aggregated from a web service and dumped to a file, so it\'s JSON-ea

Answer 1

Each line looks like a valid JSON document.

That's "JSON Lines" format (http://jsonlines.org/)

Try to process each line independantly (json.loads(line)) or use a specialized library (https://jsonlines.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

def process(oneline):
    # do what you want with each line
    print(oneline['record'])

with open('toy_two.json', 'rb') as inpt:
    for line in inpt:
        process(json.loads(line))
