Here is the sample string i am receiving from one of the web services,

body=%7B%22type%22%3A%22change%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fapi.pachube.com%2Fv2%2Ftriggers%2F4100%22%2C%22environment%22%3A%7B%22feed%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fapi.pachube.com%2Fv2%2Ffeeds%2F36133%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Current+Cost+Bridge%22%2C%22description%22%3Anull%2C%22id%22%3A36133%7D%2C%22threshold_value%22%3Anull%2C%22timestamp%22%3A%222012-01-05T09%3A27%3A01Z%22%2C%22triggering_datastream%22%3A%7B%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fapi.pachube.com%2Fv2%2Ffeeds%2F36133%2Fdatastreams%2F1%22%2C%22value%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3A%22523%22%2C%22max_value%22%3A1269.0%2C%22min_value%22%3A0.0%7D%2C%22id%22%3A%221%22%2C%22units%22%3A%7B%22symbol%22%3A%22W%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22derivedUnits%22%2C%22label%22%3A%22watts%22%7D%7D%2C%22id%22%3A4100%7D

Here is the code,

class Feeds():
    def GET(self):
        print "Get request is accepted."
        return render.index(None)

    def POST(self):
        print "Post request is accepted."
        print (web.data())

Now when that web-service posts the above given data, how will i convert it to readable format? Then, i need to convert it to JSON object and use further. So, how will i convert it?

When i try this code,

        json_data = json.loads(web.data())
        print json_data['body']
        return render.index(json_data['body'])

It gives me an error,

enter code Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/web/application.py", line 237, in process
return self.handle()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/web/application.py", line 228, in handle

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/json/decoder.py", line 338, in raw_decode
raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded here

Where am i going wrong ??

Thanks in advance.

    First you need to unquote the body

    import urllib
body="%7B%22type%22%3A%22change%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fapi.pachube.com%2Fv2%2Ftriggers%2F4100%22%2C%22environment%22%3A%7B%22feed%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fapi.pachube.com%2Fv2%2Ffeeds%2F36133%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Current+Cost+Bridge%22%2C%22description%22%3Anull%2C%22id%22%3A36133%7D%2C%22threshold_value%22%3Anull%2C%22timestamp%22%3A%222012-01-05T09%3A27%3A01Z%22%2C%22triggering_datastream%22%3A%7B%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fapi.pachube.com%2Fv2%2Ffeeds%2F36133%2Fdatastreams%2F1%22%2C%22value%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3A%22523%22%2C%22max_value%22%3A1269.0%2C%22min_value%22%3A0.0%7D%2C%22id%22%3A%221%22%2C%22units%22%3A%7B%22symbol%22%3A%22W%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22derivedUnits%22%2C%22label%22%3A%22watts%22%7D%7D%2C%22id%22%3A4100%7D"
unquoted = urllib.unquote(body)

    Then just load the JSON like normal

    import json
pythonDict = json.loads(unquoted)
