    Solution 1:

    If you want to save it as a Plaintext, try the following:

    {
  "Users": [
    {"username": "User1"},
    {"username": "User2"}
  ]
}

    Solution 2:

    If you want to save it as key/value pairs, use the following:

    {
    "username1": "User1",
    "username2": "User2"
}

    Solution 3:

    If you want to save it as key/value pairs and don’t want to change the format, use the following:

    {
  "Users": "[{"username": "User1"},{"username": "User2"}]"
}

    Conclusion:

    You cannot convert a JSON object to a key/value pair if it is an array. You have to change the format as key/value pair is a list of key-with-value (e.g., "key": "value") pairs. If you want it to be an array then store it as plaintext and retrieve it as a string and then convert it to JSON and use it accordingly. Or, you can have Users as key and the array as value which is a JSON string. Again, you need to retrieve it as a string and then convert it to JSON and use it accordingly but this time it is a key/value pair and not plaintext.

    Don’t click Key/Value.

    Instead, use Plaintext and extract the individual values in your program by converting the string to JSON (json.loads()) and referencing the individual elements.

    For example:

    object['Users'][0]['username']
