Which statement must be used to export the contents of the devices object in JSON format?

Question

Options

• Ajson.repr(Devices)
• Bjson.loads(Devices)
• Cjson.print(Devices)
• Djson.dumps(Devices)

• A
  6% (1)
• C
  6% (1)
• D
  89% (16)

Explanation

Explanation

json.dumps() is the correct method for converting a Python object (like the Devices dictionary) into a JSON-formatted string - the "s" in dumps stands for "string," making it ideal for exporting or serializing data in JSON format. Option A (json.repr) does not exist in the json module; repr() is a built-in Python function unrelated to JSON serialization. Option B (json.loads) is the opposite operation - it parses a JSON-formatted string back into a Python object, so it would be used for importing, not exporting. Option C (json.print) is entirely fictitious and not a real method in the json module.

Memory Tip

Think of it this way:

• dumps = Dump to String (export Python → JSON string)
• loads = Load from String (import JSON string → Python)

The "s" at the end of both dumps and loads always signals you're working with a string, helping you remember which direction the data is flowing.
