Parse Json With Python

I'd like to parse {'ticker':{'high':31.9099,'low':22.5,'vol':108468,'buy':29.61,'sell':30,'last':29.61}} and end up with: last = 29.61 but I don't know where to start parsing pyt

Solution 1:

>>> text = '''{"ticker":{"high":31.9099,"low":22.5,"vol":108468,"buy":29.61,"sell":30,"last":29.61}}'''>>> json.loads(text)
{u'ticker': {u'sell': 30, u'buy': 29.609999999999999, u'last': 29.609999999999999, u'vol': 108468, u'high': 31.9099, u'low': 22.5}}
>>> json.loads(text)[u'ticker'][u'last']
29.609999999999999

Or use simplejson with older versions of Python.

Solution 2:

I'm not sure, but I thought I should post this here in case someone else finds it useful. There is a nice post here on Parsing JSON in Python - it is small be shows how you could use it in different scenarios.

Good luck!
