Put it this way, when I feed your json object into a jason lint, the output is the following: { "CF": "Fee", "ID": "2" } The second occurrence in the parent object of name "CF" with a value of string literal "Fee" overwrites the earlier name "CF" whose value is (in python terms) a dictionary or (in json terms) an object. -- Denis McMahon, denismfmcma...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
