How to convert socket data to json object or to Dictionary with Python 3

Question

So I am trying to convert data from socket to json object. below is my python code that gets data from socket server.

import socket

HOST = "myHOST"
PORT = myPORT
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((myHOST, myPORT))
    s.sendall(b" ")
    buffer_size = 4096
    print("Received: ")
    while True:
        data = s.recv(buffer_size)
        print(repr(data))
s.close()

I am getting this data as an output:

Received: 
b'2018-08-06T17:35:45.0612|power|ON|mode|MANUAL|execution|READY|Xact|215.13|Yact|331.34|Zact|22.16|Xcom|0.00|Ycom|0.00|Zcom|0.00|path_feedrate|0.00|line|0|Block|0|program|Plate 1_imported_dxf.ORD\n'
b'2018-08-06T17:35:45.0612|comms|NORMAL||||\n2018-08-06T17:35:45.0612|Sspeed|0.00\n'

And now I want to convert it to formatted json object so that i can later use it on my html with javascript. I tried to create json object within my while loop by:

import socket
import json

HOST = "myHOST"
PORT = myPORT
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((myHOST, myPORT))
    s.sendall(b" ")
    buffer_size = 4096
    print("Received: ")
    while True:
        data = s.recv(buffer_size)
        print(repr(data))

        json_obj = json.loads(data)
        print(type(json_obj))
        print(json_obj.get("power").get("mode"))
s.close()

But i cant make it to work. I also tried to use json.dumps but no success. Please help guys! I also tried to make a dictionary but no success, getting error: ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2). Below is the snippet for my dictionary try:

while True:
    data = s.recv(buffer_size).decode("utf-8")
    print(data)
    d = {}
    for pair in data.replace(' ', '').split(', '):
        k, v = pair.split('|')
        d[k] = int(v)
    print(d)

I want the answer to have key value pairs.

Answer 1

import socket

HOST = "myHOST"
PORT = myPORT
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((myHOST, myPORT))
    buffer_size = 2048
    print("Received: ")
    while True:
        devData = s.recv(buffer_size).decode("utf-8").split("|")
        timeStamp = devData.pop(0)
        devDict = dict(zip(*([iter(devData)]*2)))
        print(devDict)
s.close()

And this is the result that I get:
