Convert Pandas DataFrame to JSON format

Question

I have a Pandas DataFrame with two columns – one with the filename and one with the hour in which it was generated:

 File       Hour
  F1               


        

Answer 1

To transform a dataFrame in a real json (not a string) I use:

    from io import StringIO
    import json
    import DataFrame

    buff=StringIO()
    #df is your DataFrame
    df.to_json(path_or_buf=buff,orient='records')
    dfJson=json.loads(buff)
