How do i merge two json files in python?

I'm trying to do a python script that merge 2 json files for example:

First file: test.json

[
  {
    "user_id": "273631610",
    "item_id": "0829482",
    "rating": "7"
  },
  {
    "user_id": "40688800",
    "item_id": "1343092",
    "rating": "8"
  },
  {
    "user_id": "395680865",
    "item_id": "1453405",
    "rating": "8"
  }
]

Second file: test_userz.json

[

I would like to merge these into a single array like this:

To do that I did the following code:

import json

with open("test.json") as fin1:
    data1 = json.load(fin1)
with open("test_userz.json") as fin2:
    data2 = json.load(fin2)
data1.update(data2)
with open("merged.json", "w") as fout:
    json.dump(data1, fout)

but in runtime i see this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "json/merge2jsons.py", line 7, in 
data1.update(data2)
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'update'

How can i do this merge ?

How do I combine multiple JSON files in one JSON file using Python?

Step 1: Load the json files with the help of pandas dataframe. Step 2 : Concatenate the dataframes into one dataframe. Step 3: Convert the concatenated dataframe into CSV file.

Can we merge two JSON files?

simple. JSONObject to merge two JSON objects in Java. We can merge two JSON objects using the putAll() method (inherited from interface java.
If you just want to merge all json files sequentially, go to the folder where all json files are, select all and rename the first one as "yourchoice", by doing this all will be in sequential order i.e. yourchoice1,yourchoice2 ... next go to cmd and type : copy *. json "outputfilename".
