I haven't had a great experience dealing with JSON in Python, but maybe I'm doing it wrong. What would be the Python equivalent of this JS code? JSON.parse

JSON.parse(<data>).foo?.[0]?.bar
Basically just return the `bar` field of the the first element of `foo`, or None/undefined if it doesn't exist.
- PurpleRamen 3y agoAssuming <data> will be a key-value-object aka dict, it would be something like this: import json data = json.loads('<data>') bar = None if foo:=data.get('foo'): bar = foo[0].bar print(bar) If you can't be sure to get a dict, another type-check would be necessary. If you read from a file or file-like-object (like sys.stdin), json.load should be used.
