pandas.DataFrame.to_json按行转json

最近需要将csv文件转成DataFrame并以json的形式展示到前台，故需要用到Dataframe的to_json方法

to_json方法默认以列名为键，列内容为值，形成{col1:[v11,v21,v31…],col2:[v12,v22,v32],…}这种格式，但有时我们需要按行来转为json，形如这种格式[row1:{col1:v11,col2:v12,col3:v13…},row2:{col1:v21,col2:v22,col3:v23…}]

通过查找官网我们可以看到to_json方法有一个参数为orient，其参数说明如下：

orient : string

Series

default is ‘index’

allowed values are: {‘split’,’records’,’index’}

DataFrame

default is ‘columns’

allowed values are: {‘split’,’records’,’index’,’columns’,’values’}

The format of the JSON string

split : dict like {index -> [index], columns -> [columns], data -> [values]}

records : list like [{column -> value}, … , {column -> value}]

index : dict like {index -> {column -> value}}

columns : dict like {column -> {index -> value}}

values : just the values array

table : dict like {‘schema’: {schema}, ‘data’: {data}} describing the data, and the data component is like orient=’records’.

Changed in version 0.20.0

大致意思为：

如果是Series转json，默认的orient是’index’，orient可选参数有 {‘split’,’records’,’index’}

如果是DataFrame转json，默认的orient是’columns’，orient可选参数有 {‘split’,’records’,’index’,’columns’,’values’}

json的格式如下

split，样式为 {index -> [index], columns -> [columns], data -> [values]}

records，样式为[{column -> value}, … , {column -> value}]

index ，样式为 {index -> {column -> value}}

columns，样式为 {index -> {column -> value}}

values，数组样式

table，样式为{‘schema’: {schema}, ‘data’: {data}}，和records类似

看一下官网给的demo

df = pd.DataFrame([['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']],
index=['row 1', 'row 2'],
columns=['col 1', 'col 2'])
###########
split
###########
df.to_json(orient='split')
>'{"columns":["col 1","col 2"],
"index":["row 1","row 2"],
"data":[["a","b"],["c","d"]]}'
###########
index
###########
df.to_json(orient='index')
>'{"row 1":{"col 1":"a","col 2":"b"},"row 2":{"col 1":"c","col 2":"d"}}'

###########
records
###########
df.to_json(orient='index')
>'[{"col 1":"a","col 2":"b"},{"col 1":"c","col 2":"d"}]'

###########
table
###########
df.to_json(orient='table')
>'{"schema": {"fields": [{"name": "index", "type": "string"},
{"name": "col 1", "type": "string"},
{"name": "col 2", "type": "string"}],
"primaryKey": "index",
"pandas_version": "0.20.0"},
"data": [{"index": "row 1", "col 1": "a", "col 2": "b"},
{"index": "row 2", "col 1": "c", "col 2": "d"}]}'
