Storing JSON Files on Spike Prime

[DylDevs]

Hello all!
I'm working on a project that involves reading a file from the Spikes files. I have this successfully working on the EV3 since it's easy to download and upload files to it using the ev3dev VS Code extension.

I simply need to be able to upload JSON files to the Spike so it can be read by a file and used.
Any ideas?

We don't have file system support on SPIKE Prime. But since Python's dict and list are very similar to JSON you should be able to copy and paste the JSON into Python files (with some small modifications to assign it to a variable) and make it work that way.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I think I should be able to make this method work.
What is the purpose of the ujson module on Spike then?

[dlech]

I suppose ujson could be useful if you wanted to receive structured data via stdin or send it via stdout.

Oh, that makes sense, thanks!
