I am studying quasar at the moment, and I want to know how to export a table to JSon. I have data in JSonimported and I want to get output in JSon too.
Now I'm using JSON.stringify to get data of my table, but that gives all data in a single line in JSon.
Here's a piece of my code in quasar :
exportTable() { const status = exportFile('table.json', JSON.stringify(this.data), 'text/json')}
and it gives me :
[{"Name":"xxx","Adress":"xxx","Zip code":"xxx"},{"Name":"yyy","Adress":"yyy","Zip code":"yyy"}]
What I want to output :
[{
"Name":"xxx",
"Adress":"xxx",
"Zip code":"xxx"
},
{
"Name":"yyy",
"Adress":"yyy",
"Zip code":"yyy"
}]
How can I get this ?
If I understood correctly, you want to use:
JSON.stringify(this.data, null, 4)
Where the last argument (4) is the spacing you desire.
You can have a look at JSON.stringify official documentation
const data = [{"Name":"xxx","Adress":"xxx","Zip code":"xxx"},{"Name":"yyy","Adress":"yyy","Zip code":"yyy"}]
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 4))

I've the following json file (banneds.json):
{
"players": [
{
"avatar": "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/avatars/07/07aa315f664efa92456569429230bc2c254c3ff8_full.jpg",
"created": 1595050663,
"created_by": "<#128152620136267776>",
"nick": "teste",
"steam64": 76561198046619692
},
{
"avatar": "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/avatars/21/21fa5c468597e9c890212b2e3bdb0fac781c040c_full.jpg",
"created": 1595056420,
"created_by": "<#128152620136267776>",
"nick": "ingridão",
"steam64": 76561199058918551
}
]
}
And I want to insert new values if the new value (inserted by user) is not already in the json, however when I try to search if the value is already there I receive a false value, an example of what I'm doing ( not the original code, only an example ):
import json
check = 76561198046619692
with open('banneds.json', 'r') as file:
data = json.load(file)
if check in data:
print(True)
else:
print(False)
I'm always receiving the "False" result, but the value is there, someone can give me a light of what I'm doing wrong please? I tried the entire night to find a solution, but no one works :(
Thanks for the help!
You are checking data as a dictionary object. When checking using if check in data it checks if data object have a key matching the value of the check variable (data.keys() to list all keys).
One easy way would be to use if check in data["players"].__str__() which will convert value to a string and search for the match.
If you want to make sure that check value only checks for the steam64 values, you can write a simple function that will iterate over all "players" and will check their "steam64" values. Another solution would be to make list of "steam64" values for faster and easier checking.
You can use any() to check if value of steam64 key is there.
For example:
import json
def check_value(data, val):
return any(player['steam64']==val for player in data['players'])
with open('banneds.json', 'r') as f_in:
data = json.load(f_in)
print(check_value(data, 76561198046619692))
Prints:
True
I have a file composed of a single array containing multiple records.
{
"Client": [
{
"ClientNo": 1,
"ClientName": "Alpha",
"ClientBusiness": [
{
"BusinessNo": 1,
"IndustryCode": "12345"
},
{
"BusinessNo": 2,
"IndustryCode": "23456"
}
]
},
{
"ClientNo": 2,
"ClientName": "Bravo",
"ClientBusiness": [
{
"BusinessNo": 1,
"IndustryCode": "34567"
},
{
"BusinessNo": 2,
"IndustryCode": "45678"
}
]
}
]
}
I load it with the following code:
create or replace stage stage.test
url='azure://xxx/xxx'
credentials=(azure_sas_token='xxx');
create table if not exists stage.client (json_data variant not null);
copy into stage.client_test
from #stage.test/client_test.json
file_format = (type = 'JSON' strip_outer_array = true);
Snowflake imports the entire file as one row.
I would like the the COPY INTO command to remove the outer array structure and load the records into separate table rows.
When I load larger files, I hit the size limit for variant and get the error Error parsing JSON: document is too large, max size 16777216 bytes.
If you can import the file into Snowflake, into a single row, then you can use LATERAL FLATTEN on the Clients field to generate one row per element in the array.
Here's a blog post on LATERAL and FLATTEN (or you could look them up in the snowflake docs):
https://support.snowflake.net/s/article/How-To-Lateral-Join-Tutorial
If the format of the file is, as specified, a single object with a single property that contains an array with 500 MB worth of elements in it, then perhaps importing it will still work -- if that works, then LATERAL FLATTEN is exactly what you want. But that form is not particularly great for data processing. You might want to use some text processing script to massage the data if that's needed.
RECOMMENDATION #1:
The problem with your JSON is that it doesn't have an outer array. It has a single outer object containing a property with an inner array.
If you can fix the JSON, that would be the best solution, and then STRIP_OUTER_ARRAY will work as you expected.
You could also try to recompose the JSON (an ugly business) after reading line for line with:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE X (CLIENT VARCHAR);
COPY INTO X FROM (SELECT $1 CLIENT FROM #My_Stage/Client.json);
User Response to Recommendation #1:
Thank you. So from what I gather, COPY with STRIP_OUTER_ARRAY can handle a file starting and ending with square brackets, and parse the file as if they were not there.
The real files don't have line breaks, so I can't read the file line by line. I will see if the source system can change the export.
RECOMMENDATION #2:
Also if you would like to see what the JSON parser does, you can experiment using this code, I have parsed JSON on the copy command using similar code. Working with your JSON data in small project can help you shape the Copy command to work as intended.
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE SAMPLE_JSON
(ID INTEGER,
DATA VARIANT
);
INSERT INTO SAMPLE_JSON(ID,DATA)
SELECT
1,parse_json('{
"Client": [
{
"ClientNo": 1,
"ClientName": "Alpha",
"ClientBusiness": [
{
"BusinessNo": 1,
"IndustryCode": "12345"
},
{
"BusinessNo": 2,
"IndustryCode": "23456"
}
]
},
{
"ClientNo": 2,
"ClientName": "Bravo",
"ClientBusiness": [
{
"BusinessNo": 1,
"IndustryCode": "34567"
},
{
"BusinessNo": 2,
"IndustryCode": "45678"
}
]
}
]
}');
SELECT
C.value:ClientNo AS ClientNo
,C.value:ClientName::STRING AS ClientName
,ClientBusiness.value:BusinessNo::Integer AS BusinessNo
,ClientBusiness.value:IndustryCode::Integer AS IndustryCode
from SAMPLE_JSON f
,table(flatten( f.DATA,'Client' )) C
,table(flatten(c.value:ClientBusiness,'')) ClientBusiness;
User Response to Recommendation #2:
Thank you for the parse_json example!
Trouble is, the real files are sometimes 500 MB, so the parse_json function chokes.
Follow-up on Recommendation #2:
The JSON needs to be in the NDJSON http://ndjson.org/ format. Otherwise the JSON will be impossible to parse because of the potential for large files.
Hope the above helps other running into similar questions!
I'm trying to populate a table with the output of several API sources having extracted several identical variables from each source. So far I have most of the pieces I need worked out, such as how to retrieve the data, create the table and import the data in order to create the table using an existing framework. What I don't have is a means of formatting the API data to meet the framework's requirement such as..
Required format:
[
{id:1, name:"Billy Bob", age:"12", gender:"male", height:1, col:"red", dob:"", cheese:1},
{id:2, name:"Mary May", age:"1", gender:"female", height:2, col:"blue", dob:"14/05/1982", cheese:true},
{id:3, name:"Christine Lobowski", age:"42", height:0, col:"green", dob:"22/05/1982", cheese:"true"},
]
Create a table from the formatted data...
<div id="example-table"></div>
$("#example-table").tablear({
columns:[
{title:"Name", field:"name"},
{title:"Age", field:"age"},
{title:"Gender", field:"gender"},
{title:"Height", field:"height"},
{title:"Favourite Color", field:"col"},
{title:"Date Of Birth", field:"dob"},
{title:"Cheese Preference", field:"cheese"},
],
});
Whenever you get json as response you need to parse the json and then play with that.
Example:
if(response)
{
var myObj = parse.JSON(response) // this will give you the javascript
//object
}
There is also another option of using jquery datatable using server side processing. This automatically creates a table for you.
Jquery Datatable
I am using the npm flat package, and arrays/objects are flattened, but object/array keys are surrounded by '' , like in 'task_status.0.data' using the object below.
These specific fields do not get stored into AzureTables - other fields go through, but these are silently ignored. How would I fix this?
var obj1 = {
"studentId": "abc",
"task_status": [
{
"status":"Current",
"date":516760078
},
{
"status":"Late",
"date":1516414446
}
],
"student_plan": "n"
}
Here is how I am using it - simplified code example: Again, it successfully gets written to the table, but does not write the properties that were flattened (see further below):
var flatten = require('flat')
newObj1 = flatten(obj1);
var entGen = azure.TableUtilities.entityGenerator;
newObj1.PartitionKey = entGen.String(uniqueIDFromMyDB);
newObj1.RowKey = entGen.String(uniqueStudentId);
tableService.insertEntity(myTableName, newObj1, myCallbackFunc);
In the above example, the flattened object would look like:
var obj1 = {
studentId: "abc",
'task_status.0.status': 'Current',
'task_status.0.date': 516760078,
'task_status.1.status': 'Late',
'task_status.1.date': 516760078,
student_plan: "n"
}
Then I would add PartitionKey and RowKey.
all the task_status fields would silently fail to be inserted.
EDIT: This does not have anything to do with the actual flattening process - I just checked a perfectly good JSON object, with keys that had 'x.y.z' in it, i.e. AzureTables doesn't seem to accept these column names....which almost completely destroys the value proposition of storing schema-less data, without significant rework.
. in column name is not supported. You can use a custom delimiter to flatten your objects instead.
For example:
newObj1 = flatten(obj1, {delimiter: '__'});
In PHP when I want to give a name to an array of json objects I use this line.
$json = json_encode(array("users" => $output));
And this variable would be printed like this.
{"users":[{"user_id":"1"}
But now, I'm building a project in Node.js and I need to give a name to an array, and I don't know how to do it, I'm printing data using this line:
res.send(JSON.stringify(users, null, 4));
[ { "user_id": "1" }, { "user_id": "2" } ]
Thank you.
Just build the object with "root" key users before stringify
res.send( JSON.stringify( { 'users': users } , null, 4) );
You can send json directly specifying data points
res.json({ variablename : thevalue (in your case array)})
if more than one value, just follow the syntax
res.json({ variablename : thevalue1, variablename : value2)})
You can something like this:
{'users': JSON.stringify(users, null, 4)}
