You need to decode the bytes object to produce a string. This can be done using the decode function from string class that will accept then encoding you want to decode with.
example
my_str = b"Hello" # b means its a byte string new_str = my_str.decode('utf-8') # Decode using the utf-8 encoding print(new_str)
Output
This will give the output
Hello
Once you have the bytes as a string, you can use the JSON.dumps method to convert the string object to JSON.
example
my_str = b'{"foo": 42}' # b means its a byte string new_str = my_str.decode('utf-8') # Decode using the utf-8 encoding import json d = json.dumps(my_str) print(d)
Output
This will give the output −
"{\"foo\": 42}"
