clean json file python code example
Example 1: response.json results in pretty data python
import requests
import json
r = requests.get('http://server.com/api/2/....')
pretty_json = json.loads(r.text)
print (json.dumps(pretty_json, indent=2))
Example 2: python import json data
# Basic syntax:
import ast
# Create function to import JSON-formatted data:
def import_json(filename):
for line in open(filename):
yield ast.literal_eval(line)
# Where ast.literal_eval allows you to safely evaluate the json data.
# See the following link for more on this:

# Import json data
data = list(import_json("/path/to/filename.json"))
# (Optional) convert json data to pandas dataframe:
dataframe = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(data)
# Where keys become column names
