How to merge multiple json files into one file in python

I want to merge multiple json files into one file in python. The thing that I want to do is if there are several .json files like:

# temp1.json
[{'num':'1', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-01'},
{'num':'2', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-02'},
{'num':'3', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-03'},
{'num':'4', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-04'}]

# temp2.json
[{'num':'5', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-05'},
{'num':'6', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-06'},
{'num':'7', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-07'}]

# temp3.json
[{'num':'8', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-08'},
{'num':'9', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-09'},
{'num':'10', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-10'},
{'num':'11', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-11'},
{'num':'12', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-12'}]

The result.json files I want to get should look like:

# result.json
[{'num':'1', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-01'},
{'num':'2', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-02'},
{'num':'3', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-03'},
{'num':'4', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-04'},
{'num':'5', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-05'},
{'num':'6', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-06'},
{'num':'7', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-07'},
{'num':'8', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-08'},
{'num':'9', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-09'},
{'num':'10', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-10'},
{'num':'11', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-11'},
{'num':'12', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-12'}]

The result.json files I got is:

# result.json
[[{'num':'1', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-01'},
{'num':'2', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-02'},
{'num':'3', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-03'},
{'num':'4', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-04'}],
[{'num':'5', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-05'},
{'num':'6', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-06'},
{'num':'7', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-07'}],
[{'num':'8', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-08'},
{'num':'9', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-09'},
{'num':'10', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-10'},
{'num':'11', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-11'},
{'num':'12', 'item':'smartphone','data':'2019-01-12'}]]

I used the code to merge .json files from here and changed it very slightly like below:

files=['my.json','files.json',...,'name.json']

def merge_JsonFiles(filename):
    result = list()
    for f1 in filename:
        with open(f1, 'r') as infile:
            result.append(json.load(infile))

    with open('counseling3.json', 'w') as output_file:
        json.dump(result, output_file)

merge_JsonFiles(files)

I already read several related questions, but there is no answer I need. Can anyone help me?

Answer

You should use extend instead of append. It will add the items of the passed list to result instead of a new list:

files=['my.json','files.json',...,'name.json']

def merge_JsonFiles(filename):
    result = list()
    for f1 in filename:
        with open(f1, 'r') as infile:
            result.extend(json.load(infile))

    with open('counseling3.json', 'w') as output_file:
        json.dump(result, output_file)

merge_JsonFiles(files)
