Handling JSON in Python

On php, I just use json_encode() and json_decode() to handle JSON data with ease. Python has a built in module named “json” for the same purpose. Here’s the link for the official documentation: http://docs.python.org/library/json.html The documentation has pretty examples. Still, I wanted to try things out by myself. I used Python to parse the JSON output of a certain Yahoo! Pipes feed :

 
import json,urllib
data = urllib.urlopen("http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=a0b9e3295664870ee81711aed6f7ecd6&_render=json").read()
d = json.loads(data)
for x in d['value']['items']:
    print x['title']

Output:
