title: Append the list of dictnary
body: <p>I am writing a Python program with restart capabilities. I wanted to store the state of the program execution in a JSON format, so that during re-start it could query the Json and restart from the failed point.</p>
  
  <p>JSON will be something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "job_name": xxxxx,
      "job_start_time": xxxxx,
      "site": xxxxxx,
      "tasks": [
          {
              "id": &lt;unique id to look-up on restart&gt;
              "task_start_time": 
              "task_end_time":
              "runtime":
              "successful": &lt;true or false&gt;
              "error_message":&lt;if successful is false&gt;
          }
      ]   
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When a stage completes successfully, it appends a task dict to the list of tasks.</p>
  
  <p>My question is how to append the task dictionary, while the entire python object remains.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible in JSON? </p>
