pandas.io.json.json_normalize with very nested json

Question

I have been trying to normalize a very nested json file I will later analyze. What I am struggling with is how to go more than one level deep to normalize.

Answer 1

You can also have a look at the library flatten_json, which does not require you to write column hierarchies as in json_normalize:

from flatten_json import flatten

data = d['hits']['hits']
dict_flattened = (flatten(record, '.') for record in data)
df = pd.DataFrame(dict_flattened)
print(df)
