# Program to write JSON to a file

import json

data = {

    "skills": ["Python", "SQL"]
}

Understanding JSON Write

json.dump serializes Python objects to JSON text and writes them to a file with pretty indentation.

Note: To write and run Python programs, you need to set up the local environment on your computer. Refer to the complete article Setting up Python Development Environment. If you do not want to set up the local environment on your computer, you can also use online IDE to write and run your Python programs.
