About JSON to Pandas DataFrame Converter

Convert JSON data to Python pandas DataFrame code. Perfect for data analysis, machine learning projects, and scientific computing with Python.

Key Features

  • Python Code Generation: Generates ready-to-run Python code
  • Import Styles: Choose between standard and direct import statements
  • Custom Variable Names: Specify your preferred DataFrame variable name
  • Multiple Formats: Supports arrays of objects, single objects, and primitive values
  • Column-Oriented Data: Automatically detects column-oriented JSON structures
  • Proper Escaping: Handles special characters in strings correctly
  • Display Code: Includes code to display DataFrame info and shape
  • File Upload: Upload JSON files directly or paste data

How to Use

  1. Input JSON Data: Paste your JSON data or upload a .json file
  2. Configure Options: Choose import style, variable name, and other settings
  3. Review Output: The Python code updates automatically
  4. Copy or Download: Use the Copy or Download button to save your code
  5. Run in Python: Execute the code in your Python environment

Example Conversion

JSON Input:

[
  {"name": "John Doe", "age": 28, "city": "New York"},
  {"name": "Jane Smith", "age": 34, "city": "London"}
]

Python Output:

import pandas as pd

# Create DataFrame from list of dictionaries
data = [
    {'name': 'John Doe', 'age': 28, 'city': 'New York'},
    {'name': 'Jane Smith', 'age': 34, 'city': 'London'}
]
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# Display DataFrame
print(df)

# Display DataFrame info
print(f"\nShape: {df.shape}")
print(f"Columns: {list(df.columns)}")

Data Structure Support

  • List of Dictionaries: Most common format, creates DataFrame with columns from keys
  • Column-Oriented Dict: Dictionary with arrays as values (each key is a column)
  • Single Dictionary: Creates single-row DataFrame
  • List of Primitives: Creates single-column DataFrame named 'value'
  • Single Value: Creates single-cell DataFrame

Common Use Cases

  • Data Analysis: Convert JSON API responses to pandas DataFrames
  • Machine Learning: Prepare JSON data for ML model training
  • Data Science: Transform JSON datasets for statistical analysis
  • ETL Pipelines: Generate code for data transformation workflows
  • Jupyter Notebooks: Quick DataFrame creation in notebooks
  • Data Exploration: Convert JSON to DataFrame for exploratory data analysis

Pandas DataFrame Benefits

  • Powerful Operations: Filter, group, aggregate, and transform data easily
  • Data Cleaning: Handle missing values, duplicates, and data types
  • Visualization: Create plots and charts with matplotlib/seaborn
  • Integration: Works seamlessly with NumPy, scikit-learn, and other libraries
  • Performance: Optimized for large datasets with vectorized operations

Requirements

To run the generated code, you need Python with pandas installed:

pip install pandas
