1 #converting the file to json  data 

person_dict = json.loads(person)
#converting the json file to dictionary

print(person_dict)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here is explanation of the code:
We import the json module, which provides functions for working with JSON data and a JSON string called person, which represents information about a person. It contains two key-value pairs: "name" and "languages". The "languages" value is an array containing two elements: "English" and "French".

json.loads(): a function to parse the JSON string and convert it into a Python dictionary. This function takes the JSON string as input and returns a dictionary representation of the JSON data.

person_dict : we print (person_dict) that displays the contents of the dictionary, showing the key-value pairs and their corresponding values.

output:

Output: {'name': 'Bob', 'languages': ['English', 'French']}
