Given typical JSON of car models like this:
json_data = """{
"cars": [
{
"manufacturer": "ford",
"model": "mondeo"
},
{
"manufacturer": "vauxhall",
"model": "corsa"
}
]
}"""
To filter matching cars by manufacturer in Python, use:
result = [car for car in json_data['cars'] if(car['manufacturer'] == "ford")]
