How to Define Numbers of Indents in Python

In this example we will show how to define the numbers of indents using the indent parameter in the json.dumps() method in Python.

Source Code

import json

my_dict = {
    'name': 'Jim',
    'age': 14,
    'id': '15'
}

python_to_json_1 = json.dumps(my_dict)
print(python_to_json_1)

python_to_json_2 = json.dumps(my_dict, indent=4)
print(python_to_json_2)

Output:

{"name": "Jim", "age": 14, "id": "15"}
{
    "name": "Jim",
    "age": 14,
    "id": "15"
}
