I am having a problem with splitting this string:

```
"published": "2018-08-15T08:04:57Z",

```

I would like to split the `2018-08-15` part from the `T08` part. After that the `T08...` part needs to be removed. This will be applied to every `"published": rule` in the .json file. 

I'll have to do this with Python, as I also convert the XML file to JSON.

So in the convert process I would like to remove the `T08...` part.

I hope someone can help me and if more clarification is needed, I don't mind giving it :)

Searched the internet, had some look into the `.split`, `.pop` etc. methods. I am just a rookie at Python still but I want to learn.

Here is my current code:

```
import xmltodict
import json

#Searching for .xml file to convert
with open ('../../get_url/chocolatey.xml') as fd:
    xmlString = fd.read()

#Converting .xml file
print("XML Input (../../get_url/chocolatey.xml):")
print(xmlString)

#Removing certain Characters from strings in file
jsonString = json.dumps(xmltodict.parse(xmlString), indent=4)
jsonString = jsonString.replace("#", "")
jsonString = jsonString.replace("m:", "")
jsonString = jsonString.replace("d:", "")
#jsonString = jsonString.replace('"', '')

#Printing output in Json format
print("\nJson Output (../../get_url/chocolatey.json):")
print(jsonString)

#Applying output to .json file
with open("chocolatey.json", 'w') as fd:
   fd.write(jsonString)

```

Example of the JSON file

                "published": "2018-08-15T08:04:57Z",
                "updated": "2018-08-15T08:04:57Z",
                "author": {
                    "name": "Microsoft"
                },
