Python example - convert text to JSON structure #python #json

Python example - convert text to JSON structure

The Python script below demonstrates how to use regex to match on text with a known structure to build a dictionary, then convert the output to JSON data.

The task comes from this StackOverflow question.

Rather than using a procedural approach to handle the lines one at a time and extract the relevant items, I split the text into chunks and then dealt with each using regex pattern to extract the relevant pieces. Expecting questions A and B to always be present and C and D to be there sometimes.

Note use brackets for capture groups.
