Python Login Register JSON Example

This example will show you how to read/write JSON text from/to JSON files. It will also show you how to create TestCase class to run the unit tests for different class functions. And it also tells you how to generate Html reports for the unit test result.

1. Python Login Register JSON Example Overview.

  1. This example will create a python class UserAccount, it provides two functions login and regist.
  2. The login function will accept user input username and password arguments and verify them in a JSON format text file user_account.json.
  3. The regist function will save the user input username, password, and email in the user_account.json file. But first, this function will check whether the username has been used or not.
  4. If login/register success, it will return true with a success message, if login/register fails it will return false with an error message.
  5. So in this example, user account info is saved in a JSON file, so we need to use the Python json module. If you want to learn more about JSON operation in Python, you can read Python JSON Dump To Or Load From File Example
  6. This example also uses Python module unittest ( Used to run unit test ) and html-testRunner ( Used to generate unit test Html report ) to run the unit test for login and regist function. You can read Python 3 Unittest Html And Xml Report Example for detail.

2. Example Source Code.
