Hi everyone and welcome to JSON in Python.
0:04
This is Julian Sequeira and I'm going to be walking you
0:06
through some of the more interesting ways
0:09
of dealing with detailed JSON output.
0:13
So JSON, if you're not familiar with it,
0:15
stands for JavaScript Object Notation
0:18
and it's pretty much just a way
0:20
of formatting data, okay.
0:22
One of the most common ways of seeing JSON
0:25
when you're working with Python
0:27
is through contacting APIs.
0:30
Through working with numerous APIs out
0:33
through the web.
0:34
And one of the things about that
0:37
is that you actually get
0:38
really complex dictionary nested situations going on.
0:43
So the JSON output,
0:44
if you haven't seen it before,
0:45
just looks like a little dictionaries and lists
0:48
and if you get
0:49
really deeply nested lists and dictionaries,
0:53
it gets really complicated
0:55
to try and pull out that data,
0:57
which is why JSON can sort of screw with you, pretty much.
1:00
So, what we're going to do
1:01
is we're going to go through that
1:02
in the next couple of days,
1:04
have some fun with it and see what other cool APIs
1:08
you can talk to by the end of it.
1:10
So, let's move on.
