Learn how to dynamically replace values in a Python string using JSON data. This guide covers parsing JSON strings and updating placeholders in a prompt efficiently with practical examples. Perfect for anyone working with APIs, templates, or dynamic content!

To replace a value in the prompt string based on JSON data in a json_string, you can first parse the JSON string into a Python dictionary and then use string formatting or replacement techniques to update the prompt.

Here’s an example:

Example Code

```python import json

Example prompt string

prompt = "Hello, {name}. You have {count} new messages."

Example JSON data in string format

json_string = '{"name": "John", "count": 5}'

Parse JSON string into a Python dictionary

data = json.loads(json_string)

Replace values in the prompt

updated_prompt = prompt.format(**data)

print(updated_prompt) ```

Output

Hello, John. You have 5 new messages.


How It Works:

  1. JSON Parsing:
  2. The json.loads function converts the json_string into a Python dictionary (data).

  3. String Replacement:

  4. The .format(**data) unpacks the dictionary data and substitutes the placeholders in the string with the corresponding values from the dictionary.

Dynamic Replacement

If the JSON keys and prompt placeholders do not align perfectly, you can use a loop to replace values dynamically:

```python

Example prompt

prompt = "Hello, {name}. Your account balance is {balance}."

JSON string with different values

json_string = '{"name": "Alice", "balance": 250.75}'

Parse JSON

data = json.loads(json_string)

Replace placeholders dynamically

for key, value in data.items(): prompt = prompt.replace(f"{{{key}}}", str(value))

print(prompt) ```

Output

Hello, Alice. Your account balance is 250.75.

This approach is useful when the placeholders in the string are dynamic and you cannot use .format() directly. Let me know if you need help adapting this to your specific use case!
