Reading Json files
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a text format for storing and transporting data. It is “self-describing” and easy to understand. JASON files can be loaded in Python. Two methods are used here: first loading the data using pandas DataFrame and then using the python ‘open() file’ function.
# Reuirements:
import pandas as pd
from pandas import Series, DataFrame
import json
# METHOD 1. Read data from fileand display in dataframe:
df_components = pd.read_json('Geophysics/components.json')
# print(df.to_string())
# print(df)
df_components.head()
# Set the wellboreName name as index if that's the feature focus#
df_components.set_index('wellboreName', inplace=True)
# View the first five elements and see how the dataframe was changed
df_components.head()
# METHOD 2. Use Open() file function
with open('Geophysics/components.json') as f:
data = json.load(f)
print(data)
