How to convert data into JSON dictionary?

So I get a response and print it. The result is bytes:

payload = request.body

print (payload)

b'a=123&b=345&c=678&d=910'

I decode it, and the result is:

dataform = payload.decode('utf-8').replace("'", '"')

print(dataform, 'dataform')

a=123&b=345&c=678&d=910

I dumps it, and the result is:

result = json.dumps(dataform, indent=4, sort_keys=True)

print(result, 'result')

"a=123&b=345&c=678&d=910"

I loads it, and the result is:

jason = json.loads(result)

print(jason, 'jason')

a=123&b=345&c=678&d=910

I just want a normal json dictionary that I can refer to like data['string']. What am I doing wrong or not doing?

The string doesn't contain any single quotes, so replacing them is superfluous (and if it wasn't, it'd be wrong). Other than that, are you looking for d = dict(x.split('=', 1) for x in payload.decode('utf-8').split('&')) perhaps?

There's a few errors here.

First off, dumping to JSON and then loading it again does absolutely nothing (it does have a few side-effects, but that's not important here).

Secondly, and mainly, your input data isn't JSON - it's either a query string or, more likely, form-data.

You can try to parse it using the standard parse_qs in urllib.parse, but if that fails you'll have to look around for a library that can handle proper form data.

In [1]: from urllib.parse import parse_qs



In [2]: payload = b'a=123&b=345&c=678&d=910'



In [3]: dataform = payload.decode('utf-8').replace("'", '"')



In [4]: result = parse_qs(dataform)



In [5]: print(result)

{'a': ['123'], 'b': ['345'], 'c': ['678'], 'd': ['910']}
