Read and Print JSON Data

Write a Python program that uses the json module to read a JSON file and print the data. The function print_json_data(filename) should accept the filename as an argument and print the contents of the file. You can use a json file on your local environment or on Trinket you can use the following code to get json data from JSONPlaceholder:

import requests

# URL for the JSON data
url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users"

# Make a GET request to the URL
response = requests.get(url)

# Convert the response to JSON
data = response.json()

Example:

Input: print_json_data("sample.json")
Output: Prints the contents of the file "sample.json"

Use the json.load() function from the json module.

import json

def print_json_data(filename):
    with open(filename, 'r') as f:
        data = json.load(f)
        print(data)

# Test the function
# Ensure there is a sample.json file in your working directory before testing
print_json_data("sample.json")
