pandas read_json: “If using all scalar values, you must pass an index”

Question

I have some difficulty in importing a JSON file with pandas.

import pandas as pd
map_index_to_word = pd.read_json(\'people_wiki_map_index_to_word.json\')
         


        

Answer 1

You can do as @ayhan mention which will give you a column base format

Or you can enclose the object in [ ] (source) as shown below to give you a row format that will be convenient if you are loading multiple values and planing on using matrix for your machine learning models.

df = pd.DataFrame([data])
