# Simple file IO
```python
with open('somefile.txt', 'w') as file:
  file.write('foobar')

with open('somefile.txt', 'r') as file:
  text = file.read()

print text
# => foobar
```

# Writing and readin JSON information
```python
import json

structure = {
  'name': 'Stephen',
  'foods': ['eggs', 'pizza', 'monster']
}

with open('somefile.txt', 'w') as file:
  file.write(json.dumps(structure))

with open('somefile.txt', 'r') as file:
  you = json.loads(file.read())

print you['name']
# => 'Stephen'
```

# Hand rolled file serialization (don't do this in real life :) )
```python
numbers = [1234, 972315, 2135, 12, 2314, 235, -21]

number_strs = [str(number) for number in numbers]

string = ','.join(number_strs)

print string

with open('number_string.txt', 'w') as f:
  f.write(string)

with open('number_string.txt', 'r') as f:
  text = f.read()

number_strs2 = text.split(',')
numbers2 = [int(number) for number in number_strs2]

print numbers2
```
