CCNA Automation (200-901 CCNAAUTO) | DevNet Associate | 006 How to parse JSON to Python
Note: Cisco has renamed CCNA DevNet to CCNA Automation. The DEVASC 200-901 associate-level exam content remains unchanged.
In this video, we’re continuing our journey through Section 1.2 of the Cisco DevNet Associate course!
In the previous video, we tackled how to parse XML data into Python using the built-in xml module — a great first step in handling structured data. Now, we’re shifting gears to focus on JSON, another common data format in modern network automation and API workflows.
We’ll walk through a real-world example where we load JSON data from a file, validate it, and convert it into Python dictionaries and lists using the built-in json module. You’ll also learn how to write clean and robust code that can safely handle unexpected input or errors — a must for scripting in production environments.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll feel confident working with JSON in Python and be well-prepared for tackling network automation projects or Cisco DevNet exam tasks that involve data processing.
🎯 Who Is This For?
