reading json without using relative path in django
You can use the Django open()
function to read a JSON file without using a relative path. First, import the os
module. Then, use the BASE_DIR
settings in your Django project to construct the absolute path to the JSON file. Finally, use the constructed absolute path with the open()
function to read the JSON file.
Here's an example:
import os
import json
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
json_file_path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'path_to_your_json_file.json')
with open(json_file_path) as json_file:
data = json.load(json_file)
# Use the JSON data as needed
