Reading JSON file with Python 3

Try this

import json

with open(filename.txt, r) as f:
    array = json.load(f)

print (array)

Based on reading over the documentation again, it appears you need to either change the third line to

json_data = json.loads(text)

or remove the line

text = json_file.read()

since read() causes the files index to reach the end of the file. (I suppose, alternatively, you can reset the index of the file).

For python3, only the below worked for me – none of the above.

import json

with open(/emp.json, r) as f:

     data=f.read()

print(data)
