python-mysqlHow do I use Python to convert MySQL JSON data type to a Python data type?

To convert MySQL JSON data type into a Python data type, we can use the json.loads() method. This method takes a JSON string and returns a Python dictionary. For example:

import json

json_string = '{"name": "John", "age": 30}'

python_dict = json.loads(json_string)

print(python_dict)

Output example

{'name': 'John', 'age': 30}

The code above consists of the following parts:

1. import json: This imports the json module into the program, which allows us to use the json.loads() method.
2. json_string: This is a string containing a JSON object.
3. python_dict = json.loads(json_string): This line uses the json.loads() method to convert the JSON string into a Python dictionary.
4. print(python_dict): This line prints out the resulting Python dictionary.

For more information, see the Python documentation on the json module.
