output group of json objects on new line instead of single line
arrays, json, newline, object, python
Solution
The formating kinda broke your message, but I assume you want to newline after each write call (each post).
Just do `outfile.write(out + '\n')`. The `\n` will be automagically converted to proper line separator on given system.
Problem
I am loading a json file and trying to pull some values then output that group of values by line. The current output looks like this: ``` {"time":"1:2:2","post":"1","user":"4","text":"Masaru Emoto"}{"time":"1:3:8","post":"8","user":"5","text":"Meteors"}{"time":"7:4:5","post":"1","user":"8","text":"Olympics"} ``` And I want it to look like this: ``` {"time":"1:2:2","post":"1","user":"4","text":"Masaru Emoto"} {"time":"1:3:8","post":"8","user":"5","text":"Meteors"} {"time":"7:4:5","post":"1","user":"8","text":"Olympics"} ``` I can't figure out where to add the "\n" to fix the output. Thanks in advance for the help. Code: ``` import json json_data = open('somefile.json', 'r+').read().decode("utf-8") jdata = json.loads(json_data) def id_generator(d): with open('formatted_file' + '.json', 'w') as outfile: for k, v in d.items(): if isinstance(v, dict): id_generator(v) if isinstance(v, list): for post in v: formated = {"time":post.get('created_time'),"user":post['from']['id'], "post":post.get('id'),"text":post.get('description')} out = json.dumps(formated, separators=(',', ':')) outfile.write(out) if __name__ == '__main__': try: id_generator(jdata) except TypeError: pass ```
