Write in json file with Python
This question already has an answer here:
I keep in mind 4 methods while I work with JSON objects in python.
json.dumps(<a python dict object>) - gives a string representation of json formed out of the python dict object json.dump( <a python dict object>,<file obj>) - writes a json file in file object json.loads(<a string>) - reads a json object from a string json.load(<a json file>) - reads a json object from the file. The next important thing to keep in mind is that json 's and dict in python are equivalent.
So let us say, the file contents reside inside a file addThis.json . You have a already existing json object inside the file existing.json .
The below code should be able to do the job
import json
existing = json.load(open("/tmp/existing.json","r"))
addThis = json.load(open("/tmp/addThis.json","r"))
for key in addThis.keys():
existing[key] = addThis[key]
json.dump(exist,open("/tmp/combined.json","w"),indent=4)
Edit: Assuming the contents of the addThis is not in a file but is to be read from the console.
import json
existing = json.load(open("/tmp/existing.json","r"))
addThis = input()
# paste your json here.
# addThis is now simply a string of the json content of what you to add
addThis = json.loads(addThis) #converting a string to a json object.
# keep in mind we are using loads and not load
for key in addThis.keys():
existing[key] = addThis[key]
json.dump(exist,open("/tmp/combined.json","w"),indent=4)
