How to get the json files from a value

this is my json files

{
  "people1": [
    {
      "name":"William",
      "age": "20",
      "location": "Bali"
    },
    {
      "name":"Jose",
      "age": "30",
      "location": "Canada"
    }
  ]
}

Lets say i want to get the age and location of ''William'' only. How would I do it? for now this is my code but I can't seem to get it.

code.py

import json

with open("names.json") as json_file:
    data = json.load(json_file)

for item in data["people1"]:
    print(item["name"])

You do a simple for loop

for i in data['people1']:
   if i['name'] == 'William':
      print(i['age'])

You can try like this:

import json
j_ = '''{
  "people1": [
    {
      "name":"William",
      "age": "20",
      "location": "Bali"
    },
    {
      "name":"Jose",
      "age": "30",
      "location": "Canada"
    }
  ]
}'''
j = json.loads(j_)
for x in j['people1']:
    if x['name'] == 'William':
        print(x['age'])
        print(x['location'])

Loop through your data looking for William and then do what you like with his data.

for item in data["people1"]:
    if item["name"] == "William":
        print(item["age"])
        print(item["location"])
