What? No, you don't understand. JSON is a text-based serialization format. If you had JSON, you would be talking about some piece of text. What you have here is a dictionary, not JSON — juanpa.arrivillaga

When iterating over a dictionary, by default you are iterating only over keys. You need to use the items() method to get both the key and value. Here for example:

data = {key: str(val) for key, val in s.items()}

If you strictly want the values as string, then:

data = [str(val) for val in s.values()]

@AlfredGeorge That seems like a different question altogether.
