I am trying to convert a bytes field to str. I tried the following code. Not sure, why it is adding an extra char before and after each key and value.
print(event_json)
print(type(event_json))
event_json_nobytes = event_json.decode('utf-8')
event_obj = json.dumps(event_json_nobytes, indent=2)
print(event_obj)
print(type(event_json_nobytes))
output:
b'{"specversion": "1.0", "id": "xxxxyy", "source": "campaign", "type": "clientfed", "datacontenttype": "H8908", "time": "2024-01-27T11:51:19.288Z", "data": {"clientIdentifier": "H7508", "portfolioIdentifier": "H8908"}}'
<class 'bytes'>
"{"specversion": "1.0", "id": "xxxxyy", "source": "campaign", "type": "clientfed", "datacontenttype": "H8908", "time": "2024-01-27T11:51:19.288Z", "data": {"clientIdentifier": "H7508", "portfolioIdentifier": "H8908"}}"
<class 'str'>
Any lead in this regard will be really helpful. Thank you.
P.S. – I got the event_json field from a cloudevents output.

print(event_json)
print(type(event_json))
event_json_nobytes = event_json.decode('utf-8')
At this point, event_json_nobytes is a string, and your mission is done if you just want to go from bytes to str.
Now, if your goal is to reformat this string, you first need to load it before re-dumping it indented :
event_obj = json.dumps(json.loads(event_json_nobytes), indent=2)
