Mapping a json file to excel with python

问题

I would like to take a json format file and map it into an xls file. i.e. in the input file

{
  "results": [
    {
      "promo_video": "https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tztev0Q-CN8?ps=play&vq=large&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=0&autoplay=1",
      "iap": true,
      "downloads": "10,000,000"
    }
  ]
}

to be presented in an excel file: column headers: promo video| iap | downloads and the respective values of each column

Would be helpful to know a recommended way and syntax example.

Thank you.

You can use pandas module along with an excel writer engine module such as xlwt or xlsxwriter for mapping json to XLS file. For example

If your json is

[
   {"key_1":"foo1","key_2":"bar1","key_3":"foobar1"},
   {"key_1":"foo2","key_2":"bar2","key_3":"foobar2"}
]

To convert this json into XLS file

import pandas as pd
json_text = """
[
   {"key_1":"foo1","key_2":"bar1","key_3":"foobar1"},
   {"key_1":"foo2","key_2":"bar2","key_3":"foobar2"}
]
"""
df = pd.read_json(json_text)
df.to_excel('output.xls', index=False)

use pandas to convert json file to excel file.

import pandas
pandas.read_json("input.json").to_excel("output.xlsx")
