Get data from the URL and then call json.loads e.g.

Python3 example:

import urllib.request, json 
with urllib.request.urlopen("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=google") as url:
    data = json.loads(url.read().decode())
    print(data)

Python2 example:

import urllib, json
url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=google"
response = urllib.urlopen(url)
data = json.loads(response.read())
print data

The output would result in something like this:

{
"results" : [
    {
    "address_components" : [
        {
            "long_name" : "Charleston and Huff",
            "short_name" : "Charleston and Huff",
            "types" : [ "establishment", "point_of_interest" ]
        },
        {
            "long_name" : "Mountain View",
            "short_name" : "Mountain View",
            "types" : [ "locality", "political" ]

python - Reading JSON from a file - Stack Overflow
If you have to parse the file, then .read would be a bad way of doing it, since you'll have to reimplement what the json module already does. 2021-03-20T01:20:38.82Z+00:00 ... I think LOAD will reimplement the JSON with python dictionary but READ helps to load the JSON directly to the data ... More on stackoverflow.com

A new python module for analyzing HAR files

Looks like a nice set of utilities for querying HAR files from Python.

Maybe this would be interesting for you: https://github.com/scrapinghub/splash/tree/master/splash/har - there are some tools to build HAR files from PyQT's QWebView (not very generic) and a jsonschema schema for HAR validation. Feel free to include some parts of it into your package if you want. We can't do the opposite and use your package though because it is GPL.

For displaying HAR files https://github.com/janodvarko/harviewer works well enough. There are issues, but the project is good overall. It can render a graph similar to "Network" tabs in Firefox/Chrome at client side, given a parsed JSON object.

I'm making a text based rpg in python and i learnt that the data can be saved to a json file and then can be read from it and used. But how do I access that json file? Or maybe i should do another method to save game? Also is there a way to open a json file in python so that python can read it's values?
