    <p>I'm trying to load some geographic data with Python's <code>simplejson</code>.</p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- language: lang-py --&gt; string = file("prCounties.txt","r").read().decode('utf-8') d = simplejson.loads(string) </code></pre> <p>The text file has a tilde, the word should be <em>Añasco</em> instead it's <code>u"A\xf1asco"</code> which SimpleJson is not parsing. The source is a <a href="https://github.com/johan/world.geo.json/blob/master/countries/USA/PR/An%CC%83asco.geo.json" rel="nofollow">geoJson file from github</a></p> <pre><code>{"type": "FeatureCollection", "properties": {"kind": "state", "state": "PR"}, "features": [[{"geometry": {"type": "MultiPolygon", "coordinates": [[[[-67.122, 18.3239], [-67.0508, 18.3075], [-67.0398, 18.291], [-67.0837, 18.2527], [-67.122, 18.2417], [-67.1603, 18.2746], [-67.1877, 18.2691], [-67.2261, 18.2965], [-67.1822, 18.3129], [-67.1275, 18.3184]]]]}, "type": "Feature", "properties": {"kind": "county", "name": u"A\xf1asco", "state": "PR"}}]]} </code></pre> <p>Python gives me the error <code>simplejson.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting object</code></p> <hr> <p>The script I used to load from GitHub to generate <code>prCounties.txt</code>. The variable <code>counties</code> is a list of strings related to the locations of the relevant GEOjson data. </p> <p>It's clear this is not the proper way to save this data:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- language: lang-py --&gt; countyGeo = [ ] for x in counties: d = simplejson.loads(urllib.urlopen("https://raw.github.com/johan/world.geo.json/master/countries/USA/PR/%s" % (x)).read()) countyGeo += [ d["features"][0]] d["features"][0]=countyGeo file("prCounties.txt", "w").write(str(d)) </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: In the last line, I replaced the <code>str</code> with <code>simplejson.dumps</code>. I guess it encodes properly now. file("prCounties.txt", "w").write(simplejson.dumps(d))</p>

    1. CO`u"A\xf1asco"` is the same string as `u"Añasco"` (and `u"A\u00f1asco"` ).

    2. COThe reason you're seeing it as `u"A\xf1asco"` is that (in Python 2.x), the `repr` of a unicode string escapes any non-ASCII characters. For example, at your interactive interpreter, `u'ñ'` will print out `u'\xf1'`, but `print u'ñ'` will print out `ñ`.

    3. COis there another reason the <code>simplejson</code> is not loading properly then?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
