I am getting a bit of headache just because a simple looking, easy statement is throwing some errors in my face.
I have a json file called strings.json like this:
"strings": [{"-name": "city", "#text": "City"}, {"-name": "phone", "#text": "Phone"}, ...,
{"-name": "address", "#text": "Address"}]
I want to read the json file, just that for now. I have these statements which I found out, but it's not working:
import json
from pprint import pprint
with open('strings.json') as json_data:
d = json.loads(json_data)
json_data.close()
pprint(d)
The error displayed on the console was this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/.../android/values/manipulate_json.py", line 5, in <module>
d = json.loads(json_data)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 326, in loads
return _default_decoder.decode(s)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 366, in decode
obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
TypeError: expected string or buffer

Edited
Changed from json.loads
to json.load
and got this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/.../android/values/manipulate_json.py", line 5, in <module>
d = json.load(json_data)
