Objectjson - JSON to nested object.

/ Published in: Python

Makes working with JSON data, in my eyes, easier in Python.

Instead of

json_data['key']['key']['key']

Do

json_data.key.key.key

This can also be modified to work the same way with dict types.

        self.json_data = json_data

        if key in self.json_data:
            if isinstance(self.json_data[key], (list, dict)):
                return objectjson(self.json_data[key])
            else:
                return self.json_data[key]
        else:
            raise Exception('There is no json_data[\'{key}\'].'.format(key=key))
 
    def __repr__(self):
        out = self.__dict__
        return '%r' % (out['json_data'])
 
j = objectjson('{"test":{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3}}')
print(j, j.test, j.test.a)
