How to pass a JSON dictionary as an argument?

Question

Python

If passed through a regular string, the discord complains about quotes, so now it is passed as literal_eval.
But if you pass it through literal_eval, you need to escape all quotes and \n..
Is it possible to somehow pass a dictionary so that the quotes do not need to be escaped, but the dictionary itself is also passed?

Answer 1

Use json.loads function as converter and keyword-only arguments

from json import loads

@commands.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def test(ctx, *, j: loads):
    await ctx.send(f"{type(j)}\n{j}")
