value of content json python code example

Example 1: how to create json file in python

#import the json module
import json 

#create a dictionary which we can add to a json file
dictionary ={ 
    "name" : "sathiyajith", 
    "rollno" : 56, 
    "cgpa" : 8.6, 
    "phonenumber" : "9976770500"
} 

#open an object with following inputs: 'name_of_file.json', 'w'
#dump the content fromt he dictionary into the outfile
with open("sample.json", "w") as outfile: 
    json.dump(dictionary, outfile)

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.

# 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
