Question

Assuming I have the following JSON Object:

{
  "type": "Bands",
  "Artists": [{
    "profile": {
      "name":"Marissa"
      "age": "7"
      "hobbies": [{
        "name":"Skiing",
        "experience": "1 year"
      }]
    },
    "popularsong":{
      "name":"Wishing on a Star"
      "year": 2007
    }
  },
{
    "profile": {
      "name":"Kelsey"
      "age": "7"
      "hobbies": [{
        "name":"Piano",
        "experience": "1 year"
      }]
    }
    "popularsong":{
      "name":"The Twinkle"
      "year": 2007
    }
  },...
  ]
}

Assuming this json is loaded into a dictionary with json.loads(json_string)
What is the most efficient means of searching for all “Artist” entries with “age” of “7” and sticking them into an array or another dictionary?

Note that an artist entry is comprised of both the “profile” and the “popular song” something like:

{
“profile”: {
“name”:”Marissa”
“age”: “7”
“hobbies”: [{
“name”:”Skiing”,
“experience”: “1 year”
},
“popularsong”:{
“name”:”The Twinkle”
“year”: 2007
}

Answer 1

[artist for artist in myJson['Artists'] if artist['profile']['age'] == 7] might work, if I’m mentally parsing that JSON correctly.
