JSON File Maker

Use Python to generate a JSON file

---

Creating a new JSON Object

from jsonfilemaker import json

my_file = json('my_file.json')
# do stuff here
my_file.close() # Don't forget to close it!

Result: Creates a new file in current directory called 'my_file.json'

---

Adding Single Value Fields

my_file.add_field('name', 'Robert Smithing')
my_file.add_field('dateOfBirth', 'Sunday, August 12th 2018')
my_file.add_field('age', 55)
my_file.add_field('preciseAge', 55.5312)

Result:

{
    "name": "Robert Smithing",
    "dateOfBirth": "Sunday, August 12th 2018",
    "age": 55,
    "preciseAge": 55.5312
}

---

Adding List/Array Fields

my_file.add_field('children', ['Alex', 'Sam', 'Lin'])

Result:

{
    "children": [
        "Alex",
        "Sam",
        "Lin"
    ]
}

---

Putting it all together

Example:

from jsonfilemaker import json

my_new_file = json('./my_file.json')
my_new_file.add_field('name', 'Robert Smithing')
my_new_file.add_field('dateOfBirth', 'Sunday, August 12th 2018')
my_new_file.add_field('age', 55)
my_new_file.add_field('children', ['Alex', 'Sam', 'Lin'])
my_new_file.add_field('occupation', 'home remodeler')
my_new_file.close()

Creates a new file called 'my_file.json' which contains this:

{
    "name": "Robert Smithing",
    "dateOfBirth": "Sunday, August 12th 2018",
    "age": 55,
    "children": [
        "Alex",
        "Sam",
        "Lin"
    ],
    "occupation": "home remodeler"
}
