My JSON contains “false” as a value for a key which should be “False” (boolean). How to change this?
-1
ap = {
"api_version":"3.1",
"metadata":{
"total_matches":1,
"kind":"vm",
"length":1,
"offset":true
}
Above JSON contains false and true as values in between which should be True and False as those are boolean. How to fix this in python?

JavaScript usestrueandfalse, so that's correct for JSON.

JSON is not valid Python. Usejson.loadsto transform JSON into Python values.

@FlorianH any non-empty string evaluates truthy, see docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth-value-testing

Your example is not valid JSON. Nor is it a valid Python dictionary.
When working with JSON, use the json module, which will convert the true to Python boolean value True:
>>> jsontext="""{
"api_version":"3.1",
"metadata":{
"total_matches":1,
"kind":"vm",
"length":1,
"offset":true}
}"""
>>> json.loads(jsontext)
{'api_version': '3.1', 'metadata': {'total_matches': 1, 'kind': 'vm', 'length': 1, 'offset': True}}
