i feel i'm missing in question. in event, understand want read json file, edit data python object, write out updated data?

read json file:

import json  f = open("data.json") raw_data = f.read() f.close()  data = json.loads(raw_data) 

that creates dictionary (given format you've given) can manipulate want. assuming want write out:

json_data = json.dumps(data)  f = open("data.json","w") f.write(json_data) f.close()
