Python Examples: A Comparison of Reading Two Slightly Different JSON Files

In this video we look at two Python program each reading a JSON file with overall the same content but organized/structured slightly differently. The first program reads a JSON file that starts off with a curly bracket indicating that the initial structure is a dictionary. That dictionary then has a property with a value that is a list of (sub)dictionaries. The second program reads a JSON file that starts with a square bracket, that is, it starts with a list -- in this case a list of dictionaries.

Great explanation, thank you. DeltaJSON is really useful for developer working with JSON, it does compare, merge and graft.
