python output as json code example
Example 1: python json stringify
import json
json.dumps(['foo', {'bar': ('baz', None, 1.0, 2)}])
'["foo", {"bar": ["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]'
print(json.dumps({"c": 0, "b": 0, "a": 0}, sort_keys=True))
{"a": 0, "b": 0, "c": 0}
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:
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15197673/using-pythons-eval-vs-ast-literal-eval
# 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
