Quick notes “How to write UTF-8 JSON content to file, no \u escape using Python 3

Here is a quick note to this question: How to write a JSON Unicode (e.g. in Chinese) string to a file, without Python 3 json module to convert your string to \u escaped string.

Searching on Google I found that there are a lot of Python 2 syntax which is not applicable to Python3. So I decided to write this for reference to other people.

Here is the example.

with open(your_filename, 'r') as f:
    # Read file to a variable
    json_content = json.loads(f.read())
    # Write json_content to file.  
    # Remember it is loaded by json.loads()
    with open(new_filename, 'w+') as nf:
        data= json.dumps(json_content, ensure_ascii=False)
        nf.write(data)
        nf.close()

2 key points to note here:

1. I am using ensure_ascii=False to tell JSON not to convert my string. But that is not enough. So there is…
2. I am NOT using json.dumps(json_content, <file_handler>) because it did not work for me. So I save json.dumps to a variable first, and then use `<file_handler>.write(data)` to solve it.

That makes a completed solution, for me.

Hope it helps someone.
