[FIXED] Elegant way to convert json to list of objects in Python 3

Issue

Is there a more elegant way to parse a json file containing an array of elements?

Example:

import json

contents = ... # read json file

# 'elements_dict' is an array of dictionaries
elements_dict = json.loads(contents)

# 'elements' is a list of Element
elements = [Element(**element) for element in elements_dict]

Could the loads function somehow return an array of Element instead?

Solution

Solved the problem this way:

elements = json.loads(contents, object_hook=lambda d: Element(**d))
