### Reading JSON and YAML in Python

* As a DevOps Engineer you should be able to parse files, be it txt, json, Yaml, etc.
    
* You should know what all libraries one should use in Python for DevOps.
    
* Python has numerous libraries like `Os`, `sys`, `json`, `yaml` etc that a DevOps Engineer uses in day to day tasks.
    

### **Task 1: Create a Dictionary in Python and write it to a JSON File:**

**JSON (JavaScript Object Notation):**

**\->Library:** json

**\->Purpose:** Used for encoding and decoding JSON data.

**\->Functions:**

\-> json.dumps(): Serialize Python data to a JSON formatted str.

\-> json.dump() Write a Python object in JSON format to a file.

\-> json.loads(): Deserialize a JSON document to a Python object.

\-> json.load(): Read a file containing a JSON document and convert it to a Python object.

**Example:**

After running this code, a file named 'devOps.json' will be created in the same directory, containing the JSON representation of the DevOps dictionary. The file content will look like this:

### **Task 2: Read a json file service.json kept in this folder and print the service names of every cloud service provider.**

Certainly! To achieve this, you can use the json module in Python. Here's a simple example:

it produce the desired output:

### **Task 3: Read YAML file using python, file service.yaml and read the contents to convert yaml to json:**

To read a YAML file using Python and convert its contents to JSON, you can use the `PyYAML` library to handle YAML parsing. Make sure to install the library first:

Now, you can use the following Python code:
