Working with JSON data? Python makes it a breeze!

# Parse JSON data
import json

json_str = '{"name": "Alice", "age": 30}'
data = json.loads(json_str)
print(data['name'])  # Output: Alice

# Convert dictionary to JSON
data_dict = {'name': 'Bob', 'age': 25}
json_data = json.dumps(data_dict)
print(json_data)  # Output: {"name": "Bob", "age": 25}
