hierarchical JSON -> dict

Mar 01 2023 | 7:26 pm

How can I get JSON like this into a dict?

"[{\"title\":\"512-depth-ema.safetensors\",\"model_name\":\"512-depth-ema\",\"hash\":null,\"sha256\":null,\"filename\":\"/Users/johnjannone/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion/512-depth-ema.safetensors\",\"config\":null},{\"title\":\"v2-1_768-ema-pruned.safetensors [dcd690123c]\",\"model_name\":\"v2-1_768-ema-pruned\",\"hash\":\"dcd690123c\",\"sha256\":\"dcd690123cfc64383981a31d955694f6acf2072a80537fdb612c8e58ec87a8ac\",\"filename\":\"/Users/johnjannone/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion/v2-1_768-ema-pruned.safetensors\",\"config\":null}]"

I tried several approaches, and eventually made this Max monstrosity to get something that worked (attached), but it seems there's got to be an easier way...

Input of arrays of stuff is a pain. But life can be much easier if you can do JSON handling in javascript...

That's great - thank you Tyler! I hope the max dict suite will eventually handle hierarchical JSON better, but this will do the trick for now, and I'll study it as well :)
