JSON(JavaScript Object Notation,JavaScript 对象表示法),是存储和交换文本信息的语法,类似 XML。
JSON 比 XML 更小、更快,更易解析,更多 JSON 内容可以参考 JSON 教程。
Pandas 可以很方便的处理 JSON 数据,本文以 sites.json 为例,内容如下:
实例
[
    {
      "id": "A001",
      "name": "自学教程",
      "url": "www.runoops.com",
      "likes": 61
    },
    {
      "id": "A002",
      "name": "Google",
      "url": "www.google.com",
      "likes": 124
    },
    {
      "id": "A003",
      "name": "淘宝",
      "url": "www.taobao.com",
      "likes": 45
    }
  ]实例
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_json('sites.json')
   
print(df.to_string())to_string() 用于返回 DataFrame 类型的数据,我们也可以直接处理 JSON 字符串。
实例
import pandas as pd
data =[
    {
      "id": "A001",
      "name": "自学教程",
      "url": "www.runoops.com",
      "likes": 61
    },
    {
      "id": "A002",
      "name": "Google",
      "url": "www.google.com",
      "likes": 124
    },
    {
      "id": "A003",
      "name": "淘宝",
      "url": "www.taobao.com",
      "likes": 45
    }
  ]
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print(df)以上实例输出结果为:
     id    name              url  likes
0  A001    自学教程  www.runoops.com     61
1  A002  Google   www.google.com    124
2  A003      淘宝   www.taobao.com     45JSON 对象与 Python 字典具有相同的格式,所以我们可以直接将 Python 字典转化为 DataFrame 数据:
实例
import pandas as pd
# 字典格式的 JSON                                                                                              
s = {
    "col1":{"row1":1,"row2":2,"row3":3},
    "col2":{"row1":"x","row2":"y","row3":"z"}
}
# 读取 JSON 转为 DataFrame                                                                                          
df = pd.DataFrame(s)
print(df)以上实例输出结果为:
      col1 col2
row1     1    x
row2     2    y
row3     3    z从 URL 中读取 JSON 数据:
实例
import pandas as pd
URL = 'https://demo.runoops.com/static/download/sites.json'
df = pd.read_json(URL)
print(df)以上实例输出结果为:
     id    name              url  likes
0  A001    自学教程  www.runoops.com     61
1  A002  Google   www.google.com    124
2  A003      淘宝   www.taobao.com     45内嵌的 JSON 数据
假设有一组内嵌的 JSON 数据文件 nested_list.json :
实例
{
    "school_name": "ABC primary school",
    "class": "Year 1",
    "students": [
    {
        "id": "A001",
        "name": "Tom",
        "math": 60,
        "physics": 66,
        "chemistry": 61
    },
    {
        "id": "A002",
        "name": "James",
        "math": 89,
        "physics": 76,
        "chemistry": 51
    },
    {
        "id": "A003",
        "name": "Jenny",
        "math": 79,
        "physics": 90,
        "chemistry": 78
    }]
}使用以下代码格式化完整内容:
实例
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_json('nested_list.json')
print(df)以上实例输出结果为:
          school_name   class                                           students
0  ABC primary school  Year 1  {'id': 'A001', 'name': 'Tom', 'math': 60, 'phy...
1  ABC primary school  Year 1  {'id': 'A002', 'name': 'James', 'math': 89, 'p...
2  ABC primary school  Year 1  {'id': 'A003', 'name': 'Jenny', 'math': 79, 'p...这时我们就需要使用到 json_normalize() 方法将内嵌的数据完整的解析出来:
实例
import pandas as pd
import json
# 使用 Python JSON 模块载入数据
with open('nested_list.json','r') as f:
    data = json.loads(f.read())
# 展平数据
df_nested_list = pd.json_normalize(data, record_path =['students'])
print(df_nested_list)以上实例输出结果为:
     id   name  math  physics  chemistry
0  A001    Tom    60       66         61
1  A002  James    89       76         51
2  A003  Jenny    79       90         78data = json.loads(f.read()) 使用 Python JSON 模块载入数据。
json_normalize() 使用了参数 record_path 并设置为 ['students'] 用于展开内嵌的 JSON 数据 students。
显示结果还没有包含 school_name 和 class 元素,如果需要展示出来可以使用 meta 参数来显示这些元数据:
实例
import pandas as pd
import json
# 使用 Python JSON 模块载入数据
with open('nested_list.json','r') as f:
    data = json.loads(f.read())
# 展平数据
df_nested_list = pd.json_normalize(
    data,
    record_path =['students'],
    meta=['school_name', 'class']
)
print(df_nested_list)以上实例输出结果为:
     id   name  math  physics  chemistry         school_name   class
0  A001    Tom    60       66         61  ABC primary school  Year 1
1  A002  James    89       76         51  ABC primary school  Year 1
2  A003  Jenny    79       90         78  ABC primary school  Year 1接下来,让我们尝试读取更复杂的 JSON 数据,该数据嵌套了列表和字典,数据文件 nested_mix.json 如下:
实例
{
    "school_name": "local primary school",
    "class": "Year 1",
    "info": {
      "president": "John Kasich",
      "address": "ABC road, London, UK",
      "contacts": {
        "email": "admin@e.com",
        "tel": "123456789"
      }
    },
    "students": [
    {
        "id": "A001",
        "name": "Tom",
        "math": 60,
        "physics": 66,
        "chemistry": 61
    },
    {
        "id": "A002",
        "name": "James",
        "math": 89,
        "physics": 76,
        "chemistry": 51
    },
    {
        "id": "A003",
        "name": "Jenny",
        "math": 79,
        "physics": 90,
        "chemistry": 78
    }]
}nested_mix.json 文件转换为 DataFrame:
实例
import pandas as pd
import json
# 使用 Python JSON 模块载入数据
with open('nested_mix.json','r') as f:
    data = json.loads(f.read())
   
df = pd.json_normalize(
    data,
    record_path =['students'],
    meta=[
        'class',
        ['info', 'president'],
        ['info', 'contacts', 'tel']
    ]
)
print(df)以上实例输出结果为:
     id   name  math  physics  chemistry   class info.president info.contacts.tel
0  A001    Tom    60       66         61  Year 1    John Kasich         123456789
1  A002  James    89       76         51  Year 1    John Kasich         123456789
2  A003  Jenny    79       90         78  Year 1    John Kasich         123456789读取内嵌数据中的一组数据
以下是实例文件 nested_deep.json,我们只读取内嵌中的 math 字段:
实例
{
    "school_name": "local primary school",
    "class": "Year 1",
    "students": [
    {
        "id": "A001",
        "name": "Tom",
        "grade": {
            "math": 60,
            "physics": 66,
            "chemistry": 61
        }
 
    },
    {
        "id": "A002",
        "name": "James",
        "grade": {
            "math": 89,
            "physics": 76,
            "chemistry": 51
        }
       
    },
    {
        "id": "A003",
        "name": "Jenny",
        "grade": {
            "math": 79,
            "physics": 90,
            "chemistry": 78
        }
    }]
}这里我们需要使用到 glom 模块来处理数据套嵌,glom 模块允许我们使用 . 来访问内嵌对象的属性。
第一次使用我们需要安装 glom:
pip3 install glom
实例
import pandas as pd
from glom import glom
df = pd.read_json('nested_deep.json')
data = df['students'].apply(lambda row: glom(row, 'grade.math'))
print(data)以上实例输出结果为:
0 60 1 89 2 79 Name: students, dtype: int64
