Python get a value in JSON array

Question

In Python 3-x, consider you have an array in JSON syntax:

members = '''[
    {
        "name" : "Amber",
        "age"  : 5 
    },
    {
        "name" : "Becky",
        "age"  : 4 
    }
]'''

How do you get the value for age where the name is Amber? (The answer should be 5).

variable members look like a string so first change string to json object and search what you want.

members = '''[
        {
            "name" : "Amber",
            "age"  : 5 
        },
        {
            "name" : "Becky",
            "age"  : 4 
        }
    ]'''
    import json
    obj = json.loads(members) #Changing string to json
    for some_variable in obj:
        if some_variable['name'] == 'Amber':
            print (some_variable['age']) # will print 5

Error - Syntactical Remorse Over a year ago

all is not a good word to use for a variable since it is a reserved keyword in python. Also you should break out of the loop after you got what you wanted.
