json dump will write the json as string in the file. How can I get a json file that is not in the form of string, but just dictionary-like? Is it possible?
Yes. The JSON format has a lot of dead-space between elements and is space-insensitive in those regions, so there's no reason why you can't have single or multi-line comments there. Many parsers and minifiers support JSON comments as well, so just make sure your parser supports them.
What is the preferred method for returning null values in JSON? Is there a different preference for primitives? For example, if my object on the server has an Integer called "myCount" wit...
jq . some.json and you get colors as a bonus (and way easier extendability).

How can I populate my C# object with the JSON object passed via AJAX? This is the JSON object passed to a C# web method from the page using JSON.stringify: { "user": { "n...
If you want to get values from a JSON document, then open the file first and pass the file handle to json.load() instead. Depending on the document structure, json.load() would return dictionary or list, just like json.loads().
