Get JSON's attribute value in Chatterbot and Django integration

Question

statement.text in chatterbot and Django integration returns

{'text': u'How are you doing?', 'created_at': datetime.datetime(2017, 2, 20, 7, 37, 30, 746345, tzinfo=<UTC>), 'extra_data': {}, 'in_response_to': [{'text': u'Hi', 'occurrence': 3}]}

I want a value of text attribute so that it prints How are you doing?

Is that actual dict ? If not can convert to dict using `json.loads(data)` ? — Raja Simon, Jun 06 '17 at 06:56

What you got is dictionary. Value of dictionary can be obtained by get() function. You can also use dict['text'], but it does not perform error checking. get function returns None if key is not present.

The chatterbot return the json object(dict) so you can use the dictionary operations like following

[1]: data = {'text': u'How are you doing?', 'created_at': datetime.datetime(2017, 2, 20, 7, 37, 30, 746345, tzinfo=<UTC>), 'extra_data': {}, 'in_response_to': [{'text': u'Hi', 'occurrence': 3}]}

[2]: data['text'] or data.get('text')[this approch is good].
