I am trying to develop a program using Python3.6.4 which convert a JSON file into a CSV file and also we need to clean the data in the csv file. as for example:
My JSON File:
{emp:[{"Name":"Bo#b","email":"bob#gmail.com","Des":"Unknown"},
{"Name":"Martin","email":"mar#tin#gmail.com","Des":"D#eveloper"}]}
Problem 1:
After converting that into csv its creating a blank row between every 2 rows. As
**Name email Des**
[<BLANK ROW>]
Bo#b bob#gmail.com Unknown
[<BLANK ROW>]
Martin mar#tin#gmail.com D#eveloper
Problem 2:
In my code I am using emp but I need to use it dynamically.
fobj = open("D:/Users/shamiks/PycharmProjects/jsonSamle.txt")
jsonCont = fobj.read()
print(jsonCont)
fobj.close()
employee_parsed = json.loads(jsonCont)
emp_data = employee_parsed['employee']
As we will not know the structure or content of up-coming JSON file.
Problem 3:
I also need to remove all # characters from the CSV file.
For solving Problem 3, you can use .replace (https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/string_replace.htm).
For problem 2, you can use the dictionary keys and then get the zeroth item out of it.
fobj = open("D:/Users/shamiks/PycharmProjects/jsonSamle.txt")
jsonCont = fobj.read().replace("#", "")
print(jsonCont)
fobj.close()
employee_parsed = json.loads(jsonCont)
first_key = employee_parsed.keys()[0]
emp_data = employee_parsed[first_key]
I can't solve problem 1 without more code to see how your are exporting the result. It may be that your data has newlines in it. In which case, you could add .replace("\n","") and/or .replace("\r","") after the previous replace so the line would read fobj.read().replace("#", "").replace("\n", "").replace("\r", "").

I am new to python. So please excuse me if I am not asking the questions in pythonic way.
My requirements are as follows:
I need to write python code to implement this requirement.
Will be reading 60 json files as input. Each file is approximately 150 GB.
Sample structure for all 60 json files is as shown below. Please note each file will have only ONE json object. And the huge size of each file is because of the number and size of the "array_element" array contained in that one huge json object.
{
"string_1":"abc",
"string_1":"abc",
"string_1":"abc",
"string_1":"abc",
"string_1":"abc",
"string_1":"abc",
"array_element":[]
}
Transformation logic is simple. I need to merge all the array_element from all 60 files and write it into one HUGE json file. That is almost 150GB X 60 will be the size of the output json file.
Questions for which I am requesting your help on:
For reading: Planning on using "ijson" module's ijson.items(file_object, "array_element"). Could you please tell me if ijson.items will "Yield" (that is NOT load the entire file into memory) one item at a time from "array_element" array in the json file? I dont think json.load is an option here because we cannot hold such a huge dictionalry in-memory.
For writing: I am planning to read each item using ijson.item, and do json.dumps to "encode" and then write it to the file using file_object.write and NOT using json.dump since I cannot have such a huge dictionary in memory to use json.dump. Could you please let me know if f.flush() applied in the code shown below is needed? To my understanding, the internal buffer will automatically get flushed by itself when it is full and the size of the internal buffer is constant and wont dynamically grow to an extent that it will overload the memory? please let me know
Are there any better approach to the ones mentioned above for incrementally reading and writing huge json files?
Code snippet showing above described reading and writing logic:
for input_file in input_files:
with open("input_file.json", "r") as f:
objects = ijson.items(f, "array_element")
for item in objects:
str = json.dumps(item, indent=2)
with open("output.json", "a") as f:
f.write(str)
f.write(",\n")
f.flush()
with open("output.json", "a") as f:
f.seek(0,2)
f.truncate(f.tell() - 1)
f.write("]\n}")
Hope I have asked my questions clearly. Thanks in advance!!
The following program assumes that the input files have a format that is predictable enough to skip JSON parsing for the sake of performance.
My assumptions, inferred from your description, are:
All files have the same encoding.
All files have a single position somewhere at the start where "array_element":[ can be found, after which the "interesting portion" of the file begins
All files have a single position somewhere at the end where ]} marks the end of the "interesting portion"
All "interesting portions" can be joined with commas and still be valid JSON
When all of these points are true, concatenating a predefined header fragment, the respective file ranges, and a footer fragment would produce one large, valid JSON file.
import re
import mmap
head_pattern = re.compile(br'"array_element"\s*:\s*\[\s*', re.S)
tail_pattern = re.compile(br'\s*\]\s*\}\s*$', re.S)
input_files = ['sample1.json', 'sample2.json']
with open('result.json', "wb") as result:
head_bytes = 500
tail_bytes = 50
chunk_bytes = 16 * 1024
result.write(b'{"JSON": "fragment", "array_element": [\n')
for input_file in input_files:
print(input_file)
with open(input_file, "r+b") as f:
mm = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 0)
start = head_pattern.search(mm[:head_bytes])
end = tail_pattern.search(mm[-tail_bytes:])
if not (start and end):
print('unexpected file format')
break
start_pos = start.span()[1]
end_pos = mm.size() - end.span()[1] + end.span()[0]
if input_files.index(input_file) > 0:
result.write(b',\n')
pos = start_pos
mm.seek(pos)
while True:
if pos + chunk_bytes >= end_pos:
result.write(mm.read(end_pos - pos))
break
else:
result.write(mm.read(chunk_bytes))
pos += chunk_bytes
result.write(b']\n}')
If the file format is 100% predictable, you can throw out the regular expressions and use mm[:head_bytes].index(b'...') etc for the start/end position arithmetic.
I am using Python3's csv module and am wondering why I cannot control quoting correctly. I am using the option quoting = csv.QUOTE_NONNUMERIC but am still seeing all entries quoted. Any idea as to why that is?
Here's my code. Essentially, I am reading in a csv file and want to remove all duplicate lines that have the same text string:
import sys
import csv
class Row:
def __init__(self, row):
self.text, self.a, self.b = row
self.elements = row
with open(sys.argv[2], 'w', newline='') as output:
writer = csv.writer(output, delimiter=';', quotechar='"',
quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONNUMERIC)
with open(sys.argv[1]) as input:
reader = csv.reader(input, delimiter=';')
header = next(reader)
Row.labels = header
assert Row.labels[1] == 'Label1'
writer.writerow(header)
texts = set()
for row in reader:
row_object = Row(row)
if row_object.text not in texts:
writer.writerow(row_object.elements)
texts.add(row_object.text)
When I look at the generated file, the content looks like this:
"Label1";"Label2";"Label3"
"AAA";"123";"456"
...
But I want this:
"Label1";"Label2";"Label3"
"AAA";123;456
...
OK ... I figured it out myself. The answer, I am afraid, was rather simple - and obvious in retrospect. Since the content of each line is obtained from a csv.reader()its elements are strings by default. As a result, the get quoted by the subsequently employed csv.writer().
To be treated as an int, they first need to be cast to an int:
row_object.elements[1]= int(row_object.a)
This explanation can be proven by inserting a type check before and after this cast:
print('Type: {}'.format(type(row_object.elements[1])))
I'm pretty new to HADOOP and pig .
So . I have a single line json files , all have the same schema :
{"name":"someName","pkg":[{"F1":"abc","F2":"44","F3":"xyz","F4":1024,"info":
[{"timestamp":1372631550000,"value":"122","id":"nnn","name":"ppp"},
{"timestamp":1372649240000,"value":"222","id":"ggg","name":"qqq"}]} ,
{"F1":"abc","f2":"44","F3":"xyz","F4":1024,"new":[{"type":"event1", "time":1372537000000,"more":"
{\"bbad\":\"HELLO\",\"is_done\":0,\"ssss\":-128}"}]}]}
I load all of the json files using elephantbird :
data = LOAD 'browsers/gzip' USING com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.load.JsonLoader('-nestedLoad') as (json:map[]);
So far the only thing that working for me is querying the "name" field which returns bytearray.
b = foreach data generate json#'name' as name
I then tries to convert it to map instead :
c = FOREACH data GENERATE json#'name' as (m:map[]);
DESCRIBE c;
and get
c: {tuple_0: (m:map[])}
and the data looks like :
({([F1#"abc",F2#44...])})
so now I need to filter all the ones that have pkg.F1 = "abc" or all the ones that have pkg.info.value = 122 etc.
how do I do it?
a code example will be very helpful as I already googled it a lot.
Thanks
Try this
c = FOREACH data GENERATE flatten(json#'name') as (m:map[]);
The problem is that you don't know how your data is organized in Pig. Use
DESCRIBE data;
to find out what the structure returned by JsonLoader is, and this should give you enough information about how to extract your data.
BACKGROUND:
I am having issues trying to search through some CSV files.
I've gone through the python documentation: http://docs.python.org/2/library/csv.html
about the csv.DictReader(csvfile, fieldnames=None, restkey=None, restval=None, dialect='excel', *args, **kwds) object of the csv module.
My understanding is that the csv.DictReader assumes the first line/row of the file are the fieldnames, however, my csv dictionary file simply starts with "key","value" and goes on for atleast 500,000 lines.
My program will ask the user for the title (thus the key) they are looking for, and present the value (which is the 2nd column) to the screen using the print function. My problem is how to use the csv.dictreader to search for a specific key, and print its value.
Sample Data:
Below is an example of the csv file and its contents...
"Mamer","285713:13"
"Champhol","461034:2"
"Station Palais","972811:0"
So if i want to find "Station Palais" (input), my output will be 972811:0. I am able to manipulate the string and create the overall program, I just need help with the csv.dictreader.I appreciate any assistance.
EDITED PART:
import csv
def main():
with open('anchor_summary2.csv', 'rb') as file_data:
list_of_stuff = []
reader = csv.DictReader(file_data, ("title", "value"))
for i in reader:
list_of_stuff.append(i)
print list_of_stuff
main()
The documentation you linked to provides half the answer:
class csv.DictReader(csvfile, fieldnames=None, restkey=None, restval=None, dialect='excel', *args, **kwds)
[...] maps the information read into a dict whose keys are given by the optional fieldnames parameter. If the fieldnames parameter is omitted, the values in the first row of the csvfile will be used as the fieldnames.
It would seem that if the fieldnames parameter is passed, the given file will not have its first record interpreted as headers (the parameter will be used instead).
# file_data is the text of the file, not the filename
reader = csv.DictReader(file_data, ("title", "value"))
for i in reader:
list_of_stuff.append(i)
which will (apparently; I've been having trouble with it) produce the following data structure:
[{"title": "Mamer", "value": "285713:13"},
{"title": "Champhol", "value": "461034:2"},
{"title": "Station Palais", "value": "972811:0"}]
which may need to be further massaged into a title-to-value mapping by something like this:
data = {}
for i in list_of_stuff:
data[i["title"]] = i["value"]
Now just use the keys and values of data to complete your task.
And here it is as a dictionary comprehension:
data = {row["title"]: row["value"] for row in csv.DictReader(file_data, ("title", "value"))}
The currently accepted answer is fine, but there's a slightly more direct way of getting at the data. The dict() constructor in Python can take any iterable.
In addition, your code might have issues on Python 3, because Python 3's csv module expects the file to be opened in text mode, not binary mode. You can make your code compatible with 2 and 3 by using io.open instead of open.
import csv
import io
with io.open('anchor_summary2.csv', 'r', newline='', encoding='utf-8') as f:
data = dict(csv.reader(f))
print(data['Champhol'])
As a warning, if your csv file has two rows with the same value in the first column, the later value will overwrite the earlier value. (This is also true of the other posted solution.)
If your program really is only supposed to print the result, there's really no reason to build a keyed dictionary.
import csv
import io
# Python 2/3 compat
try:
input = raw_input
except NameError:
pass
def main():
# Case-insensitive & leading/trailing whitespace insensitive
user_city = input('Enter a city: ').strip().lower()
with io.open('anchor_summary2.csv', 'r', newline='', encoding='utf-8') as f:
for city, value in csv.reader(f):
if user_city == city.lower():
print(value)
break
else:
print("City not found.")
if __name __ == '__main__':
main()
The advantage of this technique is that the csv isn't loaded into memory and the data is only iterated over once. I also added a little code the calls lower on both the keys to make the match case-insensitive. Another advantage is if the city the user requests is near the top of the file, it returns almost immediately and stops looking through the file.
With all that said, if searching performance is your primary consideration, you should consider storing the data in a database.
I have a CSV file looks like
Hit39, Hit24, Hit9
Hit8, Hit39, Hit21
Hit46, Hit47, Hit20
Hit24, Hit 53, Hit46
I want to read file and create a dictionary based on the first come first serve first basis
like Hit39 : 1, Hit 24:2 and so on ...
but notice Hit39 appeared on column 2 and row2 . So if the reader reads it then it should not append it to dictionary it will move on with the new number.
Once a row number is visited it shouldn't include numbers after that if appeared.
Using Python - Best guess until the OP is clarified - treat the file as though it was one huge list and assign an incrementing variable to unique occurences of value.
import csv
from itertools import count
mydict = {}
counter = count(1)
with open('infile.csv') as fin:
for row in csv.reader(fin, skipinitialspace=True):
for col in row:
mydict[col] = mydict.get(col, next(counter))
Since Python is a popular language that has dictionaries, you must be using Python. At least I assume.
import csv
reader = csv.reader(file("filename.csv"))
d = dict((line[0], 1+lineno) for lineno, line in enumerate(reader))
print d
