{... } designates a dict and [...] designates a list.

If you give json the correct structure then it will give you want you
want.

This is a dict:

     {"req": [{"username": "######", "password": "#####", "productType": 
"CFD_Demo"}]}

The value for the key "req" is a list:

     [{"username": "######", "password": "#####", "productType": 
"CFD_Demo"}]

which contains a dict:

     {"username": "######", "password": "#####", "productType": "CFD_Demo"}
