How to Print Boolean Values in Python for JSON Data

When working with data in Python, especially in the form of JSON, you may encounter scenarios where you need to verify specific conditions and print boolean results. A common case is checking if a particular field in your JSON data matches an expected value. In this guide, we will explore how to check if a currency code in a JSON structure equals "GBP" and print the appropriate boolean result.

The Problem Statement

You have a JSON input structured as follows:

The goal is to check if the currencyCode field has the value "GBP". If it does, you want to print True; otherwise, you need to print False.

The Initial Attempt

You wrote an initial piece of code, but it didn’t work as intended:

This code is intended to check the condition but has some syntax issues that we need to address.

Breaking Down the Solution

Step 1: Accessing the JSON Data Correctly

First of all, ensure that you're accessing the currencyCode field correctly from the JSON structure. Here’s how to do it:

Explanation of the Code

Check Existence: The first condition checks whether the key currencyCode exists in the specified part of the JSON object.

Value Check: The second condition verifies whether the value of currencyCode is "GBP".

Print Result: Depending on the check, it prints either True or False.

Step 2: Simplifying the Output

If your only goal is to print a boolean result, you can simplify the output to just print the boolean itself:

Advanced Handling: Working with Timestamps

In your case, if you also need to manage timestamp conversions, here’s a quick way to do it:

This will convert a valid timestamp to a more readable datetime format.

Conclusion

By following the outlined steps, you should be able to effectively check conditions in your JSON data and print the corresponding boolean values in Python. Remember to always ensure you're correctly accessing your data structure, handling data types appropriately, and checking conditions in a straight forward manner.
