python-scipyHow can I use Python and Numpy to parse a JSON file?

Parsing a JSON file using Python and Numpy can be done with the following steps:

1. Import the json module and numpy module:

import json
import numpy as np

2. Load the JSON file with the json.load() method:

with open('data.json') as json_file:
    data = json.load(json_file)

3. Convert the data into a Numpy array with the numpy.array() method:

np_data = np.array(data)

4. Access the values from the Numpy array:

print(np_data[0]['name'])
# Output: John
