How to add string in specific positions in geojson object

i have the below posted geojson mentioned in geojson_1 section below. i want to add to it "geometry":{ and }, so that to appear as follows
{"geometry":{"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[1216374.67364018,6563498.44078949],[1216387.86261675,6563523.87797899],[1216397.66970116,6563548.2905649],[1216424.17569103,6563588.32082324],[1216458.19258303,6563622.16452455],[1216498.32084288,6563648.42909789],[1216542.90943577,6563666.03380959],[1216590.12376481,6563674.25425166],[1216638.02117068,6563672.7521636],[1216684.63088244,6563661.58935797],[1216728.03512655,6563641.225175],[1216752.29181681,6563626.67066235],[1216787.17700448,6563601.12371718],[1216816.83970763,6563569.63465531],[1216831.39332728,6563551.03748989],[1216838.2508451,6563541.8226918],[1216897.47283376,6563458.0765492],[1216918.74007329,6563421.44644481],[1216933.156564,6563381.60258193],[1216940.26085904,6563339.82061228],[1216939.82562707,6563297.43819918],[1216931.86491641,6563255.81218836],[1216907.60647856,6563170.91644364],[1216887.20280767,6563121.46139137],[1216856.24799209,6563077.86160203],[1216821.48046704,6563039.0529759],[1216799.23490474,6563017.28929875],[1216753.95673639,6562978.48086898],[1216737.29066155,6562965.4435638],[1216673.22488836,6562919.79826372],[1216644.73178636,6562899.22061724],[1216601.13622245,6562874.31962206],[1216562.32695185,6562857.3410734],[1216556.56069412,6562854.90900462],[1216549.97837146,6562852.23502385],[1216545.77480552,6562849.58841453],[1216504.75306873,6562829.03095075],[1216487.0229317,6562822.21187019],[1216482.65368148,6562820.3796627],[1216478.79578194,6562814.49158384],[1216462.95127963,6562793.04723497],[1216450.44559886,6562777.97698661],[1216448.65520854,6562774.19751598],[1216429.39331353,6562740.84427663],[1216404.99213055,6562711.06486155],[1216382.3528849,6562687.61801865],[1216357.97638417,6562665.64947943],[1216339.38004804,6562651.09634054],[1216299.24217837,6562625.743469],[1216254.86196793,6562608.94292463],[1216208.02902037,6562601.37212065],[1216160.63182011,6562603.33631786],[1216114.58159971,6562614.75632195],[1216071.73529105,6562635.17167463],[1216033.82066317,6562663.75921023],[1216002.36666225,6562699.36623124],[1215978.64176027,6562740.55696848],[1215963.60279766,6562785.67045603],[1215957.85638339,6562832.88749107],[1215961.63441126,6562880.30398198],[1215963.25125904,6562889.19806131],[1215964.03213898,6562893.28933659],[1215968.1319511,6562913.79137984],[1215972.03222389,6562937.19708669],[1215977.28745991,6563016.79645952],[1215971.45390521,6563048.0427099],[1215969.39172682,6563061.09023781],[1215963.73069651,6563104.75131293],[1215962.06592533,6563123.22251112],[1215960.00953034,6563163.6421848],[1215954.35640427,6563213.80082903],[1215954.63230125,6563269.34572034],[1215960.29082704,6563315.43307246],[1215970.70253119,6563361.57391952],[1215982.82982632,6563397.95907391],[1216001.20120538,6563439.38870108],[1216027.10825421,6563476.54992802],[1216059.60193364,6563508.08124916],[1216097.4918555,6563532.82739871],[1216139.38989254,6563549.8816932],[1216183.76104002,6563558.61926572],[1216228.97966418,6563558.71997125],[1216273.38907516,6563550.18012236],[1216287.1346647,6563546.13717455],[1216332.92682121,6563527.24586381],[1216373.78586258,6563499.1986745],[1216374.67364018,6563498.44078949]]]}}
to simpify it even more, i want to add "geometry":{ right after the the first curly bracket, and the } at the very end
i attmepted the following:
asString = asString[:2] + "geometry:" + asString[2:]
asString = asString[:len(asString)] + "}" + asString[len(asString):]
but i am not getting the expected results

I'm going to assume that geojson_1 is available as a string in which case:
import json
output = {'geometry': json.loads(geojson_1)}
...will give you a dictionary with the structure you need.

It looks like plain json data, or a string representation of a dict (they wouldn't be any different in this case), did you consider wrapping the returned data in a new dict rather than manipulating it as a string?
import json
# Assume this returns the geojson as text
geojson = json.loads(get_geojson())
geojson = {"geometry": geojson}
print(json.dumps(geojson))

I get the expected result using the following:
'{"geometry":' + d + "}"
It adds the string {"geometry": to the string d and at the end }.
The variable dis:
d = '{"type":"Polygon","co (rest of json) ,6563498.44078949]]]}'
Or you can use the json library for this:
import json
data = json.loads(d) # note d is the same string as above, this can also be from a file or read file using json.load(FILE)
# Create your new object:
result = {'geometry': data}
# print you new json:
print( json.dumps(result, indent=2))
edit:
'"geometry":{' + d + "}"
Note that you get a string starting with geometry and a { and directly another { from you input json. This is not a correct dictionary nor a proper json format.
Result:
'"geometry":{{"type":"Polygon", ... ,6563498.44078949]]]}}'
(the dots are just the rest of your original json.

Python JSON encoding invalid json format

i've stucked, i have a json with symbols like ' in values and syntax with ' and "
Example mix double qoute and single qoutelink
json ={
'key': "val_'_ue",
'secondkey': 'value'
}
With json loads and json dumps i got a str type not a dict to iterate, any ideas how i get it fixed?
print(postParams)# = {'csrf-token': "TOKEN_INCLUDES_'_'_symbols", 'param2': 'params2value'}
jsn_dict2 = json.loads(json.dumps(postParams))
print(type(jsn_dict2)) # ERROR HERE why str and not dict
for key, val in jsn_dict2.items():
print("key="+str(key))

you dont need to dumps() an already string json data:
jsn_dict = json.loads(json.dumps(res))
should be :
jsn_dict = json.loads(res)
UPDATE
according to comments the data is looks like so:
postParams = "{'csrf-token': \"TOKEN_INCLUDES_'_'_symbols\", 'add-to-your-blog-submit-button': 'add-to-your-blog-submit-button'}"
so i found an library that can help damaged json string like this one:
first run :
pip install demjson
then this code can help you:
from demjson import decode
data = decode(postParams)
data
>>> {'csrf-token': "TOKEN_INCLUDES_'_'_symbols",
'add-to-your-blog-submit-button': 'add-to-your-blog-submit-button'}

In your json u have missed the "," comma separation between two keys. The actual structure of the JSON is
json_new ={
'key': "val_'_ue",
'secondkey': 'value'
}
use
json_actual=json.dumps(json_new)
to read,
json_read=json.loads(json_actual)

multiple json dictionaries python

I have a json file with multiple json dictionaries:
the format is as following
{"x":"1", "y":"2", "z": "3"}{"x": "2","y":"3", "z":"4"}{"x":"3", "y":"4", "z":"5"}
How can I convert this to one json dictionary format as following:
{"items":[{"x":"1", "y":"2", "z": "3"},{"x": "2","y":"3", "z":"4"},{"x":"3", "y":"4", "z":"5"}]}

Already mostly answered here: Importing wrongly concatenated JSONs in python
That shows you how to pick up each JSON element from a concatenated list of them (which is not valid JSON) using json.JSONDecoder method raw_decode(). The rest is a simple matter of concatenating strings '{"items":[', element1, ",", element2, ... "]" or alternatively, accumulating them as a list, wrapping that with a one-item dict and if required, dumping that json as a string with json.dumps
OK expanding on that
import json
d = json.JSONDecoder()
# get your concatenated json into x, for example maybe
x = open('myfile.json','r').read()
jlist=[]
while True:
try:
j,n = d.raw_decode(x)
jlist.append(j)
except ValueError:
break
x=x[n:]
# my original thought was
result = '{"items":[' +
','.join( [ str(s) for s in jlist] ) +
']'
# but this is neater
result = json.dumps( { "items":jlist })
# and of course if you want it for programmatic use, just
result_as_json = dict( items=jlist )

converting json string to dict in python

I am getting a value in request.body, it is like :
a = '[data={"vehicle":"rti","action_time":"2015-04-21 14:18"}]'
type(a) == str
I want to convert this str to dict. i have tried by doing this
b=json.loads(a)
But am getting error
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

The data you are receiving is not properly formatted JSON. You're going to have to do some parsing or data transformation before you can convert it using the json module.
If you know that the data always begins with the literal string '[data=' and always ends with the literal string ']', and that the rest of the data is valid json, you can simply strip off the problematic characters:
b = json.loads(a[6:-1])
If the data can't be guaranteed to be in precisely that format, you'll have to learn what the actual format is, and do more intelligent parsing.

It is not a valid json format that you are receiving.
A valid format is of type:
'{"data":{"vehicle":"rti","action_time":"2015-04-21 14:18"}}'

import json
a = '[data={"vehicle":"rti","action_time":"2015-04-21 14:18"}]'
r = a.split("=")
r[:] = r[0].replace("[", ""), r[1].replace("]", "")
d = '{"%s":%s}'%(r[0],r[1])
dp = json.loads(d)
print dp

Python: remove double quotes from JSON dumps

I have a database which returns the rows as lists in following format:
data = ['(1000,"test value",0,0.00,0,0)', '(1001,"Another test value",0,0.00,0,0)']
After that, I use json_str = json.dumps(data) to get a JSON string. After applying json.dumps(), I get the following output:
json_str = ["(1000,\"test value\",0,0.00,0,0)", "(1001,\"Another test value\",0,0.00,0,0)"]
However, I need the JSON string in the following format:
json_str = [(1000,\"test value\",0,0.00,0,0), (1001,\"Another test value\",0,0.00,0,0)]
So basically, I want to remove the surrounding double quotes. I tried to accomplish this with json_str = json_str.strip('"') but this doesn't work. Then, I tried json_str = json_str.replace('"', '') but this also removes the escaped quotes.
Does anybody know a way to accomplish this or is there a function in Python similiar to json.dumps() which produces the same result, but without the surrounding double quotes?

You are dumping list of strings so json.dumps does exactly what you are asking for. Rather ugly solution for your problem could be something like below.
def split_and_convert(s):
bits = s[1:-1].split(',')
return (
int(bits[0]), bits[1], float(bits[2]),
float(bits[3]), float(bits[4]), float(bits[5])
)
data_to_dump = [split_and_convert(s) for s in data]
json.dumps(data_to_dump)
