I'm trying to parse this json file that I recieved from an API call.

```
"[{\"ip\":\"xx.xx.xxx.xx\",\"dns\":\"xxx.net\",\"netbios\":\"xxxxx\",....

```

I dumped it to a file like so:

```
with open('jayo.json', 'w') as j:
    json.dump(r.text, j)          #r.text being the API response

```

json should just be a straightforward dictionary, right? why does mine have all the back-slashes?

How would I print each value on it's own? IP/DNS etc.
