Reading Json file as Pandas Dataframe error

Question

I have a Json file as follows. It\'s a list of dicts.

[{\"city\": \"ab\", \"trips\": 4, \"date\": \"2014-01-25\", \"value\": 4.7, \"price\": 1.1, \"request_         


        

Answer 1

You need to indicate to Pandas that "records" formatting (where the JSON appears like a list of dictionaries) is used in datasets.json.

res = pd.read_json('input/dataset.json', orient='records')

print(res.iloc[:, :5])
   %price  Weekly_pct  avg_dist  avg_price city
0    15.4        46.2      3.67          5   ab
1     0.0         NaN      8.26          5   bc
