title: How can I create a single dictionary from a text file that contains multiple individual JSON strings?
body: <p>I have a dataset:</p>
  <pre><code>{ &quot;source_table&quot;: &quot;College&quot;, &quot;action&quot;: &quot;INSERT&quot;, &quot;timestamp&quot;: &quot;001&quot;, &quot;name&quot;: &quot;UT&quot;, &quot;status&quot;: &quot;1&quot; }
  { &quot;source_table&quot;: &quot;Major&quot;,  &quot;action&quot;: &quot;INSERT&quot;, &quot;timestamp&quot;: &quot;003&quot;, &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Engineering&quot;}
  { &quot;source_table&quot;: &quot;Class&quot;, &quot;action&quot;: &quot;UPDATE&quot;, &quot;timestamp&quot;: &quot;003&quot;, &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Freshman&quot;, &quot;status&quot;: &quot;1&quot; }
  { &quot;source_table&quot;: &quot;Student&quot;, &quot;action&quot;: &quot;INSERT&quot;, &quot;timestamp&quot;: &quot;004&quot;, &quot;state&quot;: &quot;CA&quot;, &quot;status&quot;: &quot;1&quot; }
  { &quot;source_table&quot;: &quot;Student&quot;, &quot;action&quot;: &quot;UPDATE&quot;, &quot;timestamp&quot;: &quot;007&quot;, &quot;state&quot;: &quot;TX&quot;, &quot;status&quot;: &quot;2&quot; }
  </code></pre>
  <p>My question is, since these are individually formatted strings, can they be loaded into a single dictionary? Or do they have to be sorted into different dictionaries, with each having the correct number of key/value pairs - i.e., <em><strong>college</strong></em> would source_table, action, timestamp, name, and status while <em><strong>student</strong></em> would have source_table, action, timestamp, state, and status?</p>
  <p>I can read the file as a txt file (which it is - but is that correct?) Or does it need to be parsed as JSON from the txt file?</p>
