Understanding and Implementing Schemas in Python Introduction In the world of programming, particularly in the context of data management and validation, schemas play a vital role. A schema is essentially a blueprint or a predefined structure that defines the expected format, data types, and constraints for a given data entity. In this blog, we will delve into the concept of schemas in Python, exploring what they are, why they are important, and how you can implement them in your projects. What is a Schema? A schema serves as a contract between different components of a system, ensuring that data is consistent, valid, and well-structured. It defines the rules for how data should be organized, what fields it should contain, and what types of values those fields can hold. In essence, a schema acts as a set of rules that data must adhere to in order to be considered valid. Why Are Schemas Important? Data Validation: Schemas provide a way to validate incoming data. When data is received o...

Append JSON to sting and file using python

Append JSON to sting and file using python


JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is widely used for exchanging data between different applications. In Python, the json module provides built-in support for working with JSON data, including the ability to append data to an existing JSON file. In this blog, we will discuss how to append to JSON and JSON file using Python.

The json.dump() Function

The json.dump() function is used to serialize a Python object into a JSON formatted string and write it to a file. If the file already exists, the existing data will be overwritten. However, if we want to append data to an existing JSON file, we can use the json.dump() function along with the open() function in "append" mode.

Here's an example of how to append data to an existing JSON file:

import json data = { "name": "John", "age": 25, "gender": "male" } with open('data.json', 'a') as f: json.dump(data, f) f.write('\n')

In this example, we create a dictionary data that contains some sample data. We then open a file named data.json in "append" mode using the with statement. We pass the file object to the json.dump() function, which serializes the dictionary to a JSON formatted string and writes it to the file. We also add a newline character \n after each write to ensure that each new entry is written on a new line.

The json.loads() Function and json.dump() Function

We can also use the json.load() function and json.dump() function to append data to an existing JSON file. However, we need to read the existing data from the file, append new data to it, and then write the entire data back to the file.

Here's an example of how to append data to an existing JSON file using the json.load() and json.dump() functions:

import json data = { "name": "John", "age": 25, "gender": "male" } with open('data.json', 'r+') as f: try: file_data = json.load(f) except json.JSONDecodeError: file_data = [] file_data.append(data) f.seek(0) json.dump(file_data, f, indent=4)

In this example, we open a file named data.json in read and write mode using the with statement. We then use the json.load() function to read the existing data from the file. If the file is empty or contains invalid JSON, we set the file_data variable to an empty list. We then append the new data to the file_data list and use the f.seek(0) method to move the file pointer to the beginning of the file. We finally use the json.dump() function to write the entire data back to the file, including the existing data and the new data, with an indentation of 4 spaces.

Updating a JSON string

In Python, we can append a JSON object to a JSON-formatted string by first deserializing the string using the json.loads() function, then appending the new object to the deserialized data, and finally serializing the updated data back to a JSON-formatted string using the json.dumps() function.

Here's an example of how to append a JSON object to a JSON-formatted string in Python:

import json # Existing JSON-formatted string json_str = '{"name": "John", "age": 25}' # Deserialize JSON-formatted string to a Python object data = json.loads(json_str) # Append new JSON object to the Python object new_data = {"gender": "male"} data.update(new_data) # Serialize updated Python object back to JSON-formatted string updated_json_str = json.dumps(data) print(updated_json_str)

In this example, we first define an existing JSON-formatted string called json_str. We then use the json.loads() function to deserialize the JSON-formatted string to a Python object called data. We then create a new JSON object called new_data that we want to append to the existing data. We use the update() method to append the new object to the data object. Finally, we use the json.dumps() function to serialize the updated data object back to a JSON-formatted string called updated_json_str.

Output:

{"name": "John", "age": 25, "gender": "male"}

In conclusion, appending a JSON object to a JSON-formatted string in Python involves deserializing the string to a Python object, appending the new object to the Python object, and then serializing the updated Python object back to a JSON-formatted string. The json.loads() and json.dumps() functions are used for deserializing and serializing, respectively, while Python's built-in data structures such as dictionaries and lists are used for manipulating the data.

Conclusion

In this blog, we discussed how to append to JSON and JSON file using Python. We explored two methods of appending data to an existing JSON file: using the json.dump() function in "append" mode, and using the json.load() and json.dump() functions to read the existing data from the file, append new data to it, and then write the entire data back to the file. These methods provide flexibility in how we work with JSON data and allow us to easily append data to an existing JSON file.

useNavigate and useLocation hooks - Navigating programmatically to a route. In this post, we will learn about two new hooks from react-router-dom version 6 library. 1) useNavigate - Let’s say on click of a button, If you want to perform redirection to the page, then react router provide us with a hook called as useNavigate. - useNavigate hook replaced useHistory hook, but it works same as useHistory but in addition it has good feature. - useNavigate hook is only available in react-router-dom version 6. - We can redirect to Previous and Next page with the help of useNavigate hooks.  2) useLocation - We required two library React 16.8+ and react-router-dom 5.1+ for useLocation hook. - It is a function that returns the location object that contains information about the current URL. - New location object is created, whenever the URL changed. useNavigate and useLocation hooks react router dom version 6Js and Xstate Install React Router Command npm install react-router-dom --save Sample...

How to implement error boundaries in React Js

-
Error boundaries in React Js In this post, we will learn about "Error Boundaries in React Js". First of all, why we required Error Boundaries? This is the first question comes in my mind, as before React 16, we don't have any mechanism to catch error inside components and because of which whole app in broken state on next renders. No ways to handle these errors in React Components, nor it gives any methods to recover from them. React 16 introduces a new concept to handle such errors by using the error boundaries. So now, if any error found in a part of the UI, it does not break the whole application. According to official document of React Js, There are following few areas in application, where error boundaries are not suitable solution. a) Event handlers b) Asynchronous code (e.g., setTimeout) c) Server-side rendering d) Errors are thrown in the error boundary itself  For complex application which contains multiple components, we can declare multiple error boundaries to ...

Pass data from child component to its parent component in React Js In this post, we will learn about how to pass data from child component to its parent component in React js. We need to do following steps to pass/send data from child component to parent component: a) In the parent component, create a callback function. This callback function is useful to retrieve the data from the child component. b) Pass the callback function to the child as a props from the parent component. c) The child component calls the parent callback function using props and sends the data to the parent component. Send data from child component to its parent component Sample Code: A) index.js import   React   from   "react" ; import   ReactDOM   from   "react-dom" ; import   App   from   "./App" ; ReactDOM . render ( < App   /> ,  document . getElementById ( "root" )); B) App.js import   React , {  useState  }  from   're...

How to fetch data using Axios Http Get Request in React Js?

How to fetch data using  Axios - Http Get Request in React Js? In one of my previous post, I had explained all about Fetch() method to retrieve data from api server. In this post, I am going to demystify how to achieve same thing using axios. Axios has many advantages over fetch() method. 1) Axios has the ability to intercept HTTP request. 2) With axios.all() method, you can make simultaneous requests, simply send an array of request to this method, then use axios.spread() method to assign the properties of the response array to separate varialbes. 3) Axios automatically stringifies the data when sending requests, as in fetch() method, you would have to do it manually. 4) You can set response timeout. 5) Support backward compatibility, this is because it uses XMLhttprequest under the hood.  Fetch User Data Using Axios - Get Request Installation: npm install axios or yarn add axios Sample Code: A) index.js import   React   from   "react" ; import   ReactDOM...

How to fetch data from an API using fetch() method in React Js? Now a day, we can't imagine web application without API so one of the basic requirement of any web application is to communicate with servers through HTTP protocol. This can be easily done using Fetch and Axios .  In this post, we are mainly focusing on Fetch. The Fetch API provides a fetch() method defined on the window object. The fetch method has one mandatory argument i.e., URL of the resource to be fetched. This method returns promise object that can be used to retrieve response of the request.  There are following limitations of Fetch API: a) Fetch does not allows cancelling request and request timeout. b) Fetch does not provide a way to intercept HTTP requests. c) Fetch has no url in request object. d) No installation is required. e) Fetch does not have XSRF protection. f) Fetch uses the body property. g) Fetch is a two step process when handling JSON data, first - to make actual request. second - to call j...
