In this post you will learn how to read a json file into a pandas dataframe.
pandas.read_json() –
To read a json file into a pandas dataframe we use the pandas.read_json() method.
Let’s create a json file from a pandas dataframe.
import pandas as pd
data = {'Fruits': ['Apple','Banana','Orange','Mango','Grapes'],
'Prices': [100, 20, 80, 60, 50]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df
Now, let’s save this to a json file.
df.to_json('./fruits_prices.json')if you open this file, it will look like this.
{
"Fruits": {
"0": "Apple",
"1": "Banana",
"2": "Orange",
"3": "Mango",
"4": "Grapes"
},
"Prices": {
"0": 100,
"1": 20,
"2": 80,
"3": 60,
"4": 50
}
}Now, to read this json file into pandas dataframe we can use the pandas.read_json() method. All you have to do is provide the path to the json file.
df = pd.read_json('./fruits_prices.json')
df
