Hi Lokesh, we can pass lookup while parsing your json file which will make sure that name is repetitive or not .
import json def duplicate_checking_hook(pairs): ''' lookup for duplicate names''' result = dict() for key, val in pairs: if key in result: raise KeyError('Duplicate Key specified: %s % key) result[key] = val return result >>> json.loads('''{"test":"hi","test":"bye"}''', object_pairs_hook=duplicate_checking_hook) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 339, in loads return cls(encoding=encoding, **kw).decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 366, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 382, in raw_decode obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx) File "<stdin>", line 5, in duplicate_checking_hook KeyError: u'Duplicate key specified: a' While >>> json.loads('''{"test":"hi","test1":"bye"}''', object_pairs_hook=duplicate_checking_hook) {u'test': u'hi', u'test1': u'bye'} >>> def dupe_checking_hook(pairs): result = dict() for key,val in pairs: if key in result: raise KeyError("Duplicate key specified: %s" % key) result[key] = val return result On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 2:59 PM, lokesh bobby <lokeshbob...@yahoo.com>wrote: > Hi Jayanth, > > Ideally speaking a JSON shouldn't be created with repetitive key names. > But manually it is possible that a proper JSON file can be appended with a > duplicate key.
