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

The following worked for me when pd.read_json failed: open file, load with normal json.load, then load into a pandas dataframe.

    import pandas as pd
    import json

    openfile=open('file.json')
    jsondata=json.load(openfile)
    df=pd.DataFrame(jsondata)

    openfile.close()
    print(df)
