read json from a file in python

To read a JSON file in Python, you can use the "json" module that is built-in with Python. You can follow these steps :

1. Open the JSON file in read mode.
2. Load the JSON content from the file using "json.load()" method.
3. The loaded JSON is returned as a Python dictionary.

Here's an example code snippet:

main.py
import json

# Step 1: Open the JSON file in read mode
with open('data.json', 'r') as file:

    # Step 2: Load the JSON content from the file
    data = json.load(file)

# Step 3: Printing the loaded JSON content
print(data)
226 chars
11 lines

In the above code, replace "data.json" with the path to your JSON file. The variable "data" will contain the loaded JSON data as a Python dictionary.
