The Python json.__version__ attribute provides the version of the built-in json module.
This attribute helps in checking the version of the json module being used, which can be useful for debugging and compatibility checks.
SyntaxFollowing is the syntax of the json.__version__ attribute −
import json version = json.__version__Return Value
This attribute returns a string representing the version of the json module.
Example: Getting JSON Module VersionIn this example, we retrieve and print the version of the json module −
import json # Get JSON module version json_version = json.__version__ print("JSON Module Version:", json_version)
Following is the output obtained −
JSON Module Version: 2.0.9Example: Compatibility with a Minimum Required Version
In this example, we compare the json.__version__ with a required version to ensure compatibility −
import json # Minimum required version required_version = "2.0.0" # Get installed version installed_version = json.__version__ # Compare versions if installed_version >= required_version: print("Compatible JSON module version:", installed_version) else: print("Update required! Current JSON module version:", installed_version)
Following is the expected output −
Compatible JSON module version: 2.0.9Example: Logging JSON Module Version
In this example, we log the version of the json module for debugging purposes −
import json import logging # Configure logging logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) # Get JSON module version json_version = json.__version__ # Log the version logging.info(f"Using JSON module version: {json_version}")
Following is the expected output in the log −
INFO:root:Using JSON module version: 2.0.9Example: Checking JSON Version Before Execution
In this example, we check the JSON module version before executing JSON-related operations −
import json # Required version for compatibility required_version = "2.0.9" # Check JSON module version if json.__version__ >= required_version: print("Compatible JSON version detected:", json.__version__) else: print("Warning: JSON version", json.__version__, "may not be fully compatible.")
Following is the expected output if the version is compatible −
Compatible JSON version detected: 2.0.9
