Creating / populating json w/ array

Question

I can create the following json format:

>>> json_response = {}
>>> json_response["data"] = {}
>>> json_response["data"][0] = "bla"
>>> print(json.dumps(json_response))
{"data": {"0": "bla"}}

But what I need is this final result:

{"data": [{"0": "bla"}]}

How do I get there?

With json_response = {"data": [{"0": "bla"}]}. Or just print('{"data": [{"0": "bla"}]}'). — Manuel

Instead of defining json_response["data"] = {} as a dictionary define it as a list json_response["data"] = [] and then append your dict to it.

json_response = {}
json_response["data"] = []
json_response["data"].append({0:"bla"})
print(json.dumps(json_response))
