How to read Json file and convert it to dataframe - json

Question

I was trying to read the JSON file and convert to JSON, but I am finding difficulties here as i dont have much knowledge on this.
from pandas.io.json import json_normalize
import pandas as pd
import json
Path = "NavigatorInstances.json"
with open(Path, 'r') as myfile:
data= myfile.read()
data = json.loads(data)
df = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(json_normalize(data))
I am getting error as: json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 2 column 13 (char 15)
My JSON Sample data looks like below
{

Please help me to understand how I can convert the JSON data into a readable format such as pandas dataframe

Answer 1

Your sample is not in the JSON standard(or it is only a sample?).
The word "ObjectId" is not a string or number.
I think you can try https://www.json.cn to verify your JSON file first. This error is about json not DataFrame.
