# Not only can the json.dumps() function convert a Python datastructure to a JSON string,
# but it can also dump a JSON string directly into a file. Here is an example of writing
# a structure above to a JSON file:

# json_string = json.dumps(json_data)
datastore = json.loads(json_data)
print(datastore)
print(type(datastore))  # python store json data as a dictionary

# now you can access elements of json data using below for loop
for i in datastore['office']['medical']:
    print(i['room-number'])

# lets delete sq-ft from json and store new json in a variable

for i in datastore['office']['medical']:
    del i['sq-ft']

new_string = json.dumps(datastore, indent=2, sort_keys=True)  # put some indentation to look better and sort_keys for
# sorting it with key
print(new_string)

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


for i in data['quiz']:
    print(i)


with open('storejson.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
