Trouble Passing Decoded JSON to Variable

[shubhh1989]

I'm having some trouble with passing a decoded JSON object to a variable in my project. Here's a simplified version of my code:

import json

json_string = '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}'
decoded_json = json.loads(json_string)

Trying to pass decoded JSON to a variable

name = decoded_json['name']
age = decoded_json['age']
city = decoded_json['city']

print(name, age, city)

When I run this code, it works fine and prints the expected values. However, in my actual project, I'm encountering issues where the variables don't seem to get assigned correctly, and I'm getting errors like TypeError or KeyError.

Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening and suggest ways to troubleshoot or fix the issue? Are there any common pitfalls when working with JSON in Python that I should be aware of?
