Json To Csv
Sure, I can guide you on how to convert JSON data to CSV format using Python. First, you’ll need to have Python installed on your system, and you’ll also need the pandas library, which is commonly used for data manipulation and analysis. If you haven’t installed pandas yet, you can do so via pip:
pip install pandas
Now, let’s say you have a JSON file named article.json with the following structure:
[
{
"title": "Unique Article 1",
"author": "John Doe",
"publication_date": "2024-03-10",
"content": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit..."
},
{
"title": "Unique Article 2",
"author": "Jane Smith",
"publication_date": "2024-03-09",
"content": "Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua..."
},
{
"title": "Unique Article 3",
"author": "Alex Johnson",
"publication_date": "2024-03-08",
"content": "Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris..."
}
]
You can convert this JSON data into a CSV file using the following Python script:
import pandas as pd
# Load JSON data
with open('article.json', 'r') as f:
data = pd.read_json(f)
# Convert JSON to CSV
data.to_csv('article.csv', index=False)
print("CSV file created successfully!")
Save this script in a file, for example, json_to_csv.py, and place it in the same directory as your JSON file. Then, run the script using Python:
python json_to_csv.py
Conclusion
This script will read the JSON data from article.json, convert it to a pandas DataFrame, and then export it to a CSV file named article.csv. The index=False argument in to_csv() ensures that the DataFrame index is not included in the CSV file.
