how to read json object in python [duplicate]

Answer 1

You should pass the file contents (i.e. a string) to json.loads(), not the file object itself. Try this:

with open(file_path) as f:
    data = json.loads(f.read())
    print(data[0]['text'])

There's also the json.load() function which accepts a file object and does the f.read() part for you under the hood.

Answer 2

Use json.load(), not json.loads(), if your input is a file-like object (such as a TextIOWrapper).

Given the following complete reproducer:

import json, tempfile
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() as f:
    f.write(b'{"text": "success"}'); f.flush()
    with open(f.name,'r') as lst:
        b = json.load(lst)
        print(b['text'])

...the output is success.
