Sorting JSON object(s) into a Hierarchy

Question

I need to sort out a JSON array into a Hierarchy, here my JSON file, it\'s never ordered but follow structure:

{
  \"name\":\"Folder 2\",
  \"id\":\"zRDg\",
         


        

Answer 1

My solution for this case is something like this:

data = INPUT_LIST

class Item:
    def __init__(self, _id, name, type, parent):
        self._id = _id
        self.name = name
        self.type = type
        self.parent = parent
        self.children = []

    def get_dict(self):
        return {
            'id': self._id,
            'name': self.name,
            'type': self.type,
            'children': [child.get_dict() for child in self.children]
        }


lookup = dict((item['id'], Item(item['id'], item['name'], item['type'], item['parent'] if 'parent' in item else None)) for item in data)

root = []

for _id, item in lookup.items():
    if not item.parent:
        root.append(item)
    else:
        lookup[item.parent].children.append(item)

dict_result = [item.get_dict() for item in root]
