Attributeerror: dict object has no attribute dumps ( Solved )

Attributeerror: dict object has no attribute dumps error occurs while converting dict object to JSON object if dumps() function is invoked incorrectly. Since there is no dumps() function defined in the dict type class, we can not invoke dumps() function from the dict type object. In this article we will first replicate the error then we will see how can we resolve it.

Attributeerror: dict object has no attribute dumps ( Replication ) –

This error is generated when we invoke dumps() function from a dict-type object. Hence simply we will create a dict-type object and then invoke dumps() function from it. The Interpreter will throw this error. Here is a complete example of this.

Attributeerror: dict object has no attribute dumps ( Solution ) –

In this section, we will see how can we fix this error. See basically we need to take care below things while creating json objects out of the Python object dictionary.

Import JSON Module.
invoke json.dumps() function and pass dict as a parameter.

It will create JSON string for you. Here is the complete coding example for you.

import json
dict_sample ={1:'A', 2:'B'}
json_string = json.dumps(dict_sample)
print(json_string)

In the above example, you can see that we have created a Python dictionary named dict_sample and then passed this dictionary as an argument into the json.dumps() function. Now let’s run this example and see the output.

End Notes :

Usually, We use JSON format in transferring data from one endpoint to another ( API or services ). Now suppose if we have created any utility in Python and want to transit from one source to another using API then we need to convert Python dict to JSON and sometimes we end up with the above error.
