I know that there is a method json.loads(string) but it will work only if I got String formatted to the JSON style. The String I have is in this form:
{
data1: {
x1: 'xyz'
},
data2 {
y1: 'datadata'
},
identify: {
title: {
text: 'Some important things'
}
}
}
Is there any trick to do that?
I cannot stress enough how clunky I think this solution is, but it does the job. First, I'm assuming the OP made a typo and meant "data2**:**" or this solution will need to be even more complex.
First, create a function that includes the much needed quotation marks.
def fix_element(elem):
if elem[-1] == ':':
return '"{}":'.format(elem[:-1])
else:
return elem
Second, parse the text of your object, using only double quotes:
text = """{
data1: {
x1: 'xyz'
},
data2: {
y1: 'datadata'
},
identify: {
title: {
text: 'Some important things'
}
}
}""".replace("\'", '"')enter code here
Then correct all elements of the text:
fixed_elem = [fix_element(elem) for elem in text.split()]
fixed_text = ''.join(fixed_elem)
Possibly a solution based on regular expressions would work more succinctly, but I don't have the time or desire to find the correct expressions, to be honest.
loads, which converts from json.
