save_json()

Save JSON data to a file.

Examples

data = dict(mouse_x=[], mouse_y=[])

def setup():
    py5.size(250, 250)
    py5.stroke_weight(10)


def draw():
    data['mouse_x'].append(py5.mouse_x)
    data['mouse_y'].append(py5.mouse_y)
    py5.point(py5.mouse_x, py5.mouse_y)
    if py5.frame_count == 600:
        py5.save_json(data, 'data/mouse_positions.json')
        py5.exit_sketch()

Description

Save JSON data to a file. If filename is not an absolute path, it will be saved relative to the current working directory (sketch_path()). The saved file can be reloaded with load_json().

The JSON data is saved using the Python json library with the dump method, and the kwargs parameter is passed along to that method.

Signatures

save_json(
    json_data: Any,  # json data object
    filename: Union[str, Path],  # filename to save JSON data object to
    **kwargs: dict[str, Any]
) -> None
