I try to achieve the following using the default python encoder:
{
"x": {
"name": "value"
},
"x": [
{
"other_name": "other_value"
}
]
}
My current JSON skills allow the following
import json
data = {}
data["x"] = {}
data["x"]["name"] = "value"
y = {}
y["other_name"] = "other_value"
data["x"] = [y]
print(json.dumps(data))
which of course only results in
{
"x": [
{
"other_name": "other_value"
}
]
}
How can I get an output that contains a JSON object and an identically named array (here "x"
)?
Answer
I think that in JSON, you cannot have duplicate keys at the same level of an object. that each key in a JSON object must be unique.
