[Python] Write each row of CSV to its own JSON; rows are formatted for JSON already

I have a CSV file in which each row is a string that is already formatted for JSON. Some of the elements are nested within a given key. Here is a simplified sample row:

{"key1":"string_value","key2":["string_value"],"key4":integer,"key5":[{"nested_key1":"string_value","nested_key2":boolean}],"key6":integer}


I need to take each row and write it to its own JSON file, named row_#.json.

The closest I've come is with this code:


import csv

csv_file = 'path/to/my/file.csv'

with open(csv_file, mode='r') as infile:
for i, line in enumerate(infile):
with open(f"row_{i}.json", "w") as outfile:
outfile.write(line)


The outputted files show each key and each string value wrapped in an additional set of double quotes. The entire file contents are also wrapped in quotes. Using the example from above, I end up with:

"{""key1"":""string_value"",""key2"":[""string_value""],""key4"":integer,""key5"":[{""nested_key1"":""string_value"",""nested_key2"":boolean}],""key6"":integer}"


How can I output the original row contents without this extra formatting? Can I do it without reading in the outputted JSON files and trying to replace the strings? Note that I'm not able to go back to the source and format as a proper CSV before reading the file into Python.
