Pandas Dataframe to Nested JSON

Question

I am trying to convert a Pandas Dataframe to a JSON object. My Dataframe contains data in the following format:

         student      date    grade                  


        

Answer 1

Try that :

file.csv:

student,date,grade,course
0,Student_1,2017-06-25,93,ENGLISH
1,Student_2,2017-06-25,83,ENGLISH
2,Student_1,2017-06-25,93,MATH
3,Student_2,2017-06-25,83,MATH
4,Student_1,2017-06-26,90,MATH
5,Student_2,2017-06-26,85,MATH
6,Student_1,2017-06-26,96,ENGLISH
7,Student_2,2017-06-26,99,ENGLISH

Execute:

from collections import defaultdict

import json
import pandas as pd


df = pd.read_csv('file.csv')

json_doc = defaultdict(list)
for _id in df.T:
    data = df.T[_id]
    key = data.course
    for elt in json_doc[key]:
        if elt["date"] == data.date:
            elt[data.student] = data.grade
            break
    else:
        values = {'date': data.date, data.student: data.grade}
        json_doc[key].append(values)

print(json.dumps(json_doc, indent=4))

Output:

{
    "ENGLISH": [
        {
            "date": "2017-06-25",
            "Student_1": 93,
            "Student_2": 83
        },
        {
            "date": "2017-06-26",
            "Student_1": 96,
            "Student_2": 99
        }
    ],
    "MATH": [
        {
            "date": "2017-06-25",
            "Student_1": 93,
            "Student_2": 83
        },
        {
            "date": "2017-06-26",
            "Student_1": 90,
            "Student_2": 85
        }
    ]
}
