python convert escaped string

python converts escaped strings

Sometimes we may get the following string:

Python code

>>> a = '{\"name\":\"michael\" }'

>>> print a

{"name":"michael"}

So how to convert it into a dictionary?

You can use the following method:

Python code

>>> type(json.loads('"' + a + '"'))

> ;>> type(json.loads(json.loads('"' + a + '"')))

The first time json.loads is the " Such a string is converted into "(only one double quote), and then converted into a dictionary for the second time. Remember not to forget to add the double quotes in front.
