I have a JSON file I want to convert to a CSV file. How can I do this with Python?

I tried:

import json
import csv

f = open('data.json')
data = json.load(f)
f.close()

f = open('data.csv')
csv_file = csv.writer(f)
for item in data:
    csv_file.writerow(item)

f.close()

However, it did not work. I am using Django and the error I received is:

`file' object has no attribute 'writerow'`

I then tried the following:

import json
import csv

f = open('data.json')
data = json.load(f)
f.close()

f = open('data.csv')
csv_file = csv.writer(f)
for item in data:
    f.writerow(item)  # ← changed

f.close()

I then get the error:

`sequence expected`

Sample json file:

[{
        "pk": 22,
        "model": "auth.permission",
        "fields": {
            "codename": "add_logentry",
            "name": "Can add log entry",
            "content_type": 8
        }
    }, {
        "pk": 23,
        "model": "auth.permission",
        "fields": {
            "codename": "change_logentry",
            "name": "Can change log entry",
            "content_type": 8
        }
    }, {
        "pk": 24,
        "model": "auth.permission",
        "fields": {
            "codename": "delete_logentry",
            "name": "Can delete log entry",
            "content_type": 8
        }
    }, {
        "pk": 4,
        "model": "auth.permission",
        "fields": {
            "codename": "add_group",
            "name": "Can add group",
            "content_type": 2
        }
    }, {
        "pk": 10,
        "model": "auth.permission",
        "fields": {
            "codename": "add_message",
            "name": "Can add message",
            "content_type": 4
        }
    }
]

First, your JSON has nested objects, so it normally cannot be directly converted to CSV. You need to change that to something like this:

{
    "pk": 22,
    "model": "auth.permission",
    "codename": "add_logentry",
    "content_type": 8,
    "name": "Can add log entry"
},
......]

Here is my code to generate CSV from that:

import csv
import json

x = """[
    {
        "pk": 22,
        "model": "auth.permission",
        "fields": {
            "codename": "add_logentry",
            "name": "Can add log entry",
            "content_type": 8
        }
    },
    {
        "pk": 23,
        "model": "auth.permission",
        "fields": {
            "codename": "change_logentry",
            "name": "Can change log entry",
            "content_type": 8
        }
    },
    {
        "pk": 24,
        "model": "auth.permission",
        "fields": {
            "codename": "delete_logentry",
            "name": "Can delete log entry",
            "content_type": 8
        }
    }
]"""

x = json.loads(x)

f = csv.writer(open("test.csv", "wb+"))

# Write CSV Header, If you dont need that, remove this line
f.writerow(["pk", "model", "codename", "name", "content_type"])

for x in x:
    f.writerow([x["pk"],
                x["model"],
                x["fields"]["codename"],
                x["fields"]["name"],
                x["fields"]["content_type"]])

You will get output as:

pk,model,codename,name,content_type
22,auth.permission,add_logentry,Can add log entry,8
23,auth.permission,change_logentry,Can change log entry,8
24,auth.permission,delete_logentry,Can delete log entry,8

With the pandas library, this is as easy as using two commands!

pandas.read_json()

To convert a JSON string to a pandas object (either a series or dataframe). Then, assuming the results were stored as df:

df.to_csv()

Which can either return a string or write directly to a csv-file.

Based on the verbosity of previous answers, we should all thank pandas for the shortcut.

I am assuming that your JSON file will decode into a list of dictionaries. First we need a function which will flatten the JSON objects:

def flattenjson( b, delim ):
    val = {}
    for i in b.keys():
        if isinstance( b[i], dict ):
            get = flattenjson( b[i], delim )
            for j in get.keys():
                val[ i + delim + j ] = get[j]
        else:
            val[i] = b[i]

    return val

The result of running this snippet on your JSON object:

flattenjson( {
    "pk": 22, 
    "model": "auth.permission", 
    "fields": {
      "codename": "add_message", 
      "name": "Can add message", 
      "content_type": 8
    }
  }, "__" )

is

{
    "pk": 22, 
    "model": "auth.permission', 
    "fields__codename": "add_message", 
    "fields__name": "Can add message", 
    "fields__content_type": 8
}

After applying this function to each dict in the input array of JSON objects:

input = map( lambda x: flattenjson( x, "__" ), input )

and finding the relevant column names:

columns = [ x for row in input for x in row.keys() ]
columns = list( set( columns ) )

it’s not hard to run this through the csv module:

with open( fname, 'wb' ) as out_file:
    csv_w = csv.writer( out_file )
    csv_w.writerow( columns )

    for i_r in input:
        csv_w.writerow( map( lambda x: i_r.get( x, "" ), columns ) )

I hope this helps!

JSON can represent a wide variety of data structures — a JS “object” is roughly like a Python dict (with string keys), a JS “array” roughly like a Python list, and you can nest them as long as the final “leaf” elements are numbers or strings.

CSV can essentially represent only a 2-D table — optionally with a first row of “headers”, i.e., “column names”, which can make the table interpretable as a list of dicts, instead of the normal interpretation, a list of lists (again, “leaf” elements can be numbers or strings).

So, in the general case, you can’t translate an arbitrary JSON structure to a CSV. In a few special cases you can (array of arrays with no further nesting; arrays of objects which all have exactly the same keys). Which special case, if any, applies to your problem? The details of the solution depend on which special case you do have. Given the astonishing fact that you don’t even mention which one applies, I suspect you may not have considered the constraint, neither usable case in fact applies, and your problem is impossible to solve. But please do clarify!

A generic solution which translates any json list of flat objects to csv.

Pass the input.json file as first argument on command line.

import csv, json, sys

input = open(sys.argv[1])
data = json.load(input)
input.close()

output = csv.writer(sys.stdout)

output.writerow(data[0].keys())  # header row

for row in data:
    output.writerow(row.values())

This code should work for you, assuming that your JSON data is in a file called data.json.

import json
import csv

with open("data.json") as file:
    data = json.load(file)

with open("data.csv", "w") as file:
    csv_file = csv.writer(file)
    for item in data:
        fields = list(item['fields'].values())
        csv_file.writerow([item['pk'], item['model']] + fields)

It’ll be easy to use csv.DictWriter(),the detailed implementation can be like this:

def read_json(filename):
    return json.loads(open(filename).read())
def write_csv(data,filename):
    with open(filename, 'w+') as outf:
        writer = csv.DictWriter(outf, data[0].keys())
        writer.writeheader()
        for row in data:
            writer.writerow(row)
# implement
write_csv(read_json('test.json'), 'output.csv')

Note that this assumes that all of your JSON objects have the same fields.

Here is the reference which may help you.

I was having trouble with Dan’s proposed solution, but this worked for me:

import json
import csv 

f = open('test.json')
data = json.load(f)
f.close()

f=csv.writer(open('test.csv','wb+'))

for item in data:
  f.writerow([item['pk'], item['model']] + item['fields'].values())

Where “test.json” contained the following:

[ 
{"pk": 22, "model": "auth.permission", "fields": 
  {"codename": "add_logentry", "name": "Can add log entry", "content_type": 8 } }, 
{"pk": 23, "model": "auth.permission", "fields": 
  {"codename": "change_logentry", "name": "Can change log entry", "content_type": 8 } }, {"pk": 24, "model": "auth.permission", "fields": 
  {"codename": "delete_logentry", "name": "Can delete log entry", "content_type": 8 } }
]

Use json_normalize from pandas:

• Given the data provided, in a file named test.json.
• encoding='utf-8' may not be necessary.
• The following code takes advantage of the pathlib library.
• .open is a method of pathlib.
• Works with non-Windows paths too.

import pandas as pd
# As of Pandas 1.01, json_normalize as pandas.io.json.json_normalize is deprecated and is now exposed in the top-level namespace.
# from pandas.io.json import json_normalize
from pathlib import Path
import json

# set path to file
p = Path(r'c:\some_path_to_file\test.json')

# read json
with p.open('r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    data = json.loads(f.read())

# create dataframe
df = pd.json_normalize(data)

# dataframe view
 pk            model  fields.codename           fields.name  fields.content_type
 22  auth.permission     add_logentry     Can add log entry                    8
 23  auth.permission  change_logentry  Can change log entry                    8
 24  auth.permission  delete_logentry  Can delete log entry                    8
  4  auth.permission        add_group         Can add group                    2
 10  auth.permission      add_message       Can add message                    4

# save to csv
df.to_csv('test.csv', index=False, encoding='utf-8')

CSV Output:

pk,model,fields.codename,fields.name,fields.content_type
22,auth.permission,add_logentry,Can add log entry,8
23,auth.permission,change_logentry,Can change log entry,8
24,auth.permission,delete_logentry,Can delete log entry,8
4,auth.permission,add_group,Can add group,2
10,auth.permission,add_message,Can add message,4

  • Flatten a JSON array with python
  • How to flatten nested JSON recursively, with flatten_json?
  • How to json_normalize a column with NaNs

As mentioned in the previous answers the difficulty in converting json to csv is because a json file can contain nested dictionaries and therefore be a multidimensional data structure verses a csv which is a 2D data structure. However, a good way to turn a multidimensional structure to a csv is to have multiple csvs that tie together with primary keys.

In your example, the first csv output has the columns “pk”,”model”,”fields” as your columns. Values for “pk”, and “model” are easy to get but because the “fields” column contains a dictionary, it should be its own csv and because “codename” appears to the be the primary key, you can use as the input for “fields” to complete the first csv. The second csv contains the dictionary from the “fields” column with codename as the the primary key that can be used to tie the 2 csvs together.

Here is a solution for your json file which converts a nested dictionaries to 2 csvs.

import csv
import json

def readAndWrite(inputFileName, primaryKey=""):
    input = open(inputFileName+".json")
    data = json.load(input)
    input.close()

    header = set()

    if primaryKey != "":
        outputFileName = inputFileName+"-"+primaryKey
        if inputFileName == "data":
            for i in data:
                for j in i["fields"].keys():
                    if j not in header:
                        header.add(j)
    else:
        outputFileName = inputFileName
        for i in data:
            for j in i.keys():
                if j not in header:
                    header.add(j)

    with open(outputFileName+".csv", 'wb') as output_file:
        fieldnames = list(header)
        writer = csv.DictWriter(output_file, fieldnames, delimiter=',', quotechar='"')
        writer.writeheader()
        for x in data:
            row_value = {}
            if primaryKey == "":
                for y in x.keys():
                    yValue = x.get(y)
                    if type(yValue) == int or type(yValue) == bool or type(yValue) == float or type(yValue) == list:
                        row_value[y] = str(yValue).encode('utf8')
                    elif type(yValue) != dict:
                        row_value[y] = yValue.encode('utf8')
                    else:
                        if inputFileName == "data":
                            row_value[y] = yValue["codename"].encode('utf8')
                            readAndWrite(inputFileName, primaryKey="codename")
                writer.writerow(row_value)
            elif primaryKey == "codename":
                for y in x["fields"].keys():
                    yValue = x["fields"].get(y)
                    if type(yValue) == int or type(yValue) == bool or type(yValue) == float or type(yValue) == list:
                        row_value[y] = str(yValue).encode('utf8')
                    elif type(yValue) != dict:
                        row_value[y] = yValue.encode('utf8')
                writer.writerow(row_value)

readAndWrite("data")

I know it has been a long time since this question has been asked but I thought I might add to everyone else’s answer and share a blog post that I think explain the solution in a very concise way.

Here is the link

Open a file for writing

employ_data = open('/tmp/EmployData.csv', 'w')

Create the csv writer object

csvwriter = csv.writer(employ_data)
count = 0
for emp in emp_data:
      if count == 0:
             header = emp.keys()
             csvwriter.writerow(header)
             count += 1
      csvwriter.writerow(emp.values())

Make sure to close the file in order to save the contents

employ_data.close()

It is not a very smart way to do it, but I have had the same problem and this worked for me:

import csv

f = open('data.json')
data = json.load(f)
f.close()

new_data = []

for i in data:
   flat = {}
   names = i.keys()
   for n in names:
      try:
         if len(i[n].keys()) > 0:
            for ii in i[n].keys():
               flat[n+"_"+ii] = i[n][ii]
      except:
         flat[n] = i[n]
   new_data.append(flat)  

f = open(filename, "r")
writer = csv.DictWriter(f, new_data[0].keys())
writer.writeheader()
for row in new_data:
   writer.writerow(row)
f.close()

Alec’s answer is great, but it doesn’t work in the case where there are multiple levels of nesting. Here’s a modified version that supports multiple levels of nesting. It also makes the header names a bit nicer if the nested object already specifies its own key (e.g. Firebase Analytics / BigTable / BigQuery data):

def flattenjson( b, prefix='', delim='/', val=None ):

    val = {}

  if isinstance( b, dict ):
    for j in b.keys():
      flattenjson(b[j], prefix + delim + j, delim, val)
  elif isinstance( b, list ):
    get = b
    for j in range(len(get)):
      key = str(j)

      # If the nested data contains its own key, use that as the header instead.
      if isinstance( get[j], dict ):
        if 'key' in get[j]:
          key = get[j]['key']

      flattenjson(get[j], prefix + delim + key, delim, val)

    val[prefix] = b

  return val

This works relatively well. It flattens the json to write it to a csv file. Nested elements are managed :)

That’s for python 3

import json

o = json.loads('your json string') # Be careful, o must be a list, each of its objects will make a line of the csv.

def flatten(o, k='/'):
    global l, c_line
    if isinstance(o, dict):
        for key, value in o.items():
            flatten(value, k + '/' + key)
    elif isinstance(o, list):
        for ov in o:
            flatten(ov, '')
    elif isinstance(o, str):
        o = o.replace('\r',' ').replace('\n',' ').replace(';', ',')
        if not k in l:
            l[k]={}
        l[k][c_line]=o

def render_csv(l):
    ftime = True

    for i in range(100): #len(l[list(l.keys())[0]])
        for k in l:
            if ftime :
                print('%s;' % k, end='')
                continue
            v = l[k]
            try:
                print('%s;' % v[i], end='')
            except:
                print(';', end='')
        print()
        ftime = False
        i = 0

def json_to_csv(object_list):
    global l, c_line
    l = {}
    c_line = 0
    for ov in object_list : # Assumes json is a list of objects
        flatten(ov)
        c_line += 1
    render_csv(l)

json_to_csv(o)

enjoy.

My simple way to solve this:

Create a new Python file like: json_to_csv.py

Add this code:

import csv, json, sys
#if you are not using utf-8 files, remove the next line
sys.setdefaultencoding("UTF-8")
#check if you pass the input file and output file
if sys.argv[1] is not None and sys.argv[2] is not None:

    fileInput = sys.argv[1]
    fileOutput = sys.argv[2]

    inputFile = open(fileInput)
    outputFile = open(fileOutput, 'w')
    data = json.load(inputFile)
    inputFile.close()

    output = csv.writer(outputFile)

    output.writerow(data[0].keys())  # header row

    for row in data:
        output.writerow(row.values())

After add this code, save the file and run at the terminal:

python json_to_csv.py input.txt output.csv

I hope this help you.

SEEYA!

Surprisingly, I found that none of the answers posted here so far correctly deal with all possible scenarios (e.g., nested dicts, nested lists, None values, etc).

This solution should work across all scenarios:

def flatten_json(json):
    def process_value(keys, value, flattened):
        if isinstance(value, dict):
            for key in value.keys():
                process_value(keys + [key], value[key], flattened)
        elif isinstance(value, list):
            for idx, v in enumerate(value):
                process_value(keys + [str(idx)], v, flattened)
        else:
            flattened['__'.join(keys)] = value

    flattened = {}
    for key in json.keys():
        process_value([key], json[key], flattened)
    return flattened

Try this

import csv, json, sys

input = open(sys.argv[1])
data = json.load(input)
input.close()

output = csv.writer(sys.stdout)

output.writerow(data[0].keys())  # header row

for item in data:
    output.writerow(item.values())

This code works for any given json file

If we consider the below example for converting the json format file to csv formatted file.

{
 "item_data" : [
      {
        "item": "10023456",
        "class": "100",
        "subclass": "123"
      }
      ]
}

The below code will convert the json file ( data3.json ) to csv file ( data3.csv ).

import json
import csv
with open("/Users/Desktop/json/data3.json") as file:
    data = json.load(file)
    file.close()
    print(data)

fname = "/Users/Desktop/json/data3.csv"

with open(fname, "w", newline='') as file:
    csv_file = csv.writer(file)
    csv_file.writerow(['dept',
                       'class',
                       'subclass'])
    for item in data["item_data"]:
         csv_file.writerow([item.get('item_data').get('dept'),
                            item.get('item_data').get('class'),
                            item.get('item_data').get('subclass')])

The above mentioned code has been executed in the locally installed pycharm and it has successfully converted the json file to the csv file. Hope this help to convert the files.

Since the data appears to be in a dictionary format, it would appear that you should actually use csv.DictWriter() to actually output the lines with the appropriate header information. This should allow the conversion to be handled somewhat easier. The fieldnames parameter would then set up the order properly while the output of the first line as the headers would allow it to be read and processed later by csv.DictReader().

For example, Mike Repass used

output = csv.writer(sys.stdout)

output.writerow(data[0].keys())  # header row

for row in data:
  output.writerow(row.values())

However just change the initial setup to output = csv.DictWriter(filesetting, fieldnames=data[0].keys())

Note that since the order of elements in a dictionary is not defined, you might have to create fieldnames entries explicitly. Once you do that, the writerow will work. The writes then work as originally shown.

Unfortunately I have not enouthg reputation to make a small contribution to the amazing @Alec McGail answer. I was using Python3 and I have needed to convert the map to a list following the @Alexis R comment.

Additionaly I have found the csv writer was adding a extra CR to the file (I have a empty line for each line with data inside the csv file). The solution was very easy following the @Jason R. Coombs answer to this thread: CSV in Python adding an extra carriage return

You need to simply add the lineterminator=’\n’ parameter to the csv.writer. It will be: csv_w = csv.writer( out_file, lineterminator='\n' )

You can use this code to convert a json file to csv file After reading the file, I am converting the object to pandas dataframe and then saving this to a CSV file

import os
import pandas as pd
import json
import numpy as np

data = []
os.chdir('D:\\Your_directory\\folder')
with open('file_name.json', encoding="utf8") as data_file:    
     for line in data_file:
        data.append(json.loads(line))

dataframe = pd.DataFrame(data)        
## Saving the dataframe to a csv file
dataframe.to_csv("filename.csv", encoding='utf-8',index= False)

I might be late to the party, but I think, I have dealt with the similar problem. I had a json file which looked like this

I only wanted to extract few keys/values from these json file. So, I wrote the following code to extract the same.

    """json_to_csv.py
    This script reads n numbers of json files present in a folder and then extract certain data from each file and write in a csv file.
    The folder contains the python script i.e. json_to_csv.py, output.csv and another folder descriptions containing all the json files.

I hope this will help. For details on how this code work you can check here

This is a modification of @MikeRepass’s answer. This version writes the CSV to a file, and works for both Python 2 and Python 3.

import csv,json
input_file="data.json"
output_file="data.csv"
with open(input_file) as f:
    content=json.load(f)
try:
    context=open(output_file,'w',newline='') # Python 3
except TypeError:
    context=open(output_file,'wb') # Python 2
with context as file:
    writer=csv.writer(file)
    writer.writerow(content[0].keys()) # header row
    for row in content:
        writer.writerow(row.values())
