prompted by a question from a student in quarter 1, I cam up with this example of building an object from JSON:

import json

class AnObject:
def init(self, name='', id=''):
self.name = name
self.id = id

this really should come from a file, or what's the point?

JSON = """
{"name": "Fred",
"id": "ABCD123"
}
"""

obj = AnObject(**json.loads(JSON))

print(obj)
print(obj.name)
print(obj.id)

or the really dynamic way:

class AnyObject:
def init(self, **kwargs):
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)

obj = AnyObject(**json.loads(JSON))

print(obj)
print(obj.name)
print(obj.id)

maybe a good example?
