repalcejsonForSpecificKey(keyPath,fileName)
Below is my plan
Method1 accepts 2 arguments JsonParsingKeyWhereToBereplaced, filename
Redirecting Json file to dictionary
call the method2 recursively where it accepts 2 arguments, one with searchKey and other is dictonary, this method will return all the key&values from specific Key passed on the method call
Recursively call this method until and unless you reach downstream key and update the value if found
Trying to update nested value from Json file using python language
Note: I was able to update the value in the Json file directly with below line
superHeroSquad ['payload']['ServiceConfiguration']['TokenSettings']['ClientId'] = "text"
But not like below
superHeroSquad[keyPath[0][keyPath[1]][keyPath[2]][keyPath[3]] = "text"
You could traverse your json as a map and replace the specific values like this:
import json
def replace_json_for_specific_key(file: str, key_pairs: dict[str, any]):
content = json.load(open(file))
for k, v in key_pairs.items():
keys = k.split(".")
element = content
for key in keys[:-1]:
element = element.setdefault(key, {})
element[keys[-1]] = v
tmp_file = open(file, "w")
json.dump(content, tmp_file)
tmp_file.flush()
if __name__ == '__main__':
replace_json_for_specific_key(
"input.json",
{
"payload.ServiceConfiguration.LoggingSettings.NumberOfLogFilesToKeep": 90,
"payload.ServiceConfiguration.LoggingSettings.DataRelayLogSink.TokenCredentials.ClientId": "anothervalue"
}
)
Notice it will allow you to replace several values at once. You'll need to pass the dot (.) separated path to the specific key.
I need to modify a YAML file and add several fields.I am using the ruamel.yaml package.
First I load the YAML file:
data = yaml.load(file_name)
I can easily add new simple fields, like-
data['prop1'] = "value1"
The problem I face is that I need to add a nested dictionary incorporate with array:
prop2:
prop3:
- prop4:
prop5: "Some title"
prop6: "Some more data"
I tried to define-
record_to_add = dict(prop2 = dict(prop3 = ['prop4']))
This is working, but when I try to add beneath it prop5 it fails-
record_to_add = dict(prop2 = dict(prop3 = ['prop4'= dict(prop5 = "Value")]))
I get
SyntaxError: expression cannot contain assignment, perhaps you meant "=="?
What am I doing wrong?
The problem has little to do with ruamel.yaml. This:
['prop4'= dict(prop5 = "Value")]
is invalid Python as a list ([ ]) expects comma separated values. You would need to use something like:
record_to_add = dict(prop2 = dict(prop3 = dict(prop4= [dict(prop5 = "Some title"), dict(prop6='Some more data'),])))
As your program is incomplete I am not sure if you are using the old API or not. Make sure to use
import ruamel.yaml
yaml = ruamel.yaml.YAML()
and not
import ruamel.yaml as yaml
Its because of having ['prop4'= <> ].Instead record_to_add = dict(prop2 = dict(prop3 = [dict(prop4 = dict(prop5 = "Value"))])) should work.
Another alternate would be,
import yaml
data = {
"prop1": {
"prop3":
[{ "prop4":
{
"prop5": "some title",
"prop6": "some more data"
}
}]
}
}
with open(filename, 'w') as outfile:
yaml.dump(data, outfile, default_flow_style=False)
I am using python 3 to read this file and convert it to a dictionary.
I have this string from a file and I would like to know how could be possible to create a dictionary from it.
[User]
Date=10/26/2003
Time=09:01:01 AM
User=teodor
UserText=Max Cor
UserTextUnicode=392039n9dj90j32
[System]
Type=Absolute
Dnumber=QS236
Software=1.1.1.2
BuildNr=0923875
Source=LAM
Column=OWKD
[Build]
StageX=12345
Spotter=2
ApertureX=0.0098743
ApertureY=0.2431899
ShiftXYZ=-4.234809e-002
[Text]
Text=Here is the Text files
DataBaseNumber=The database number is 918723
..... (There are more than 1000 lines per file) ...
On the text I have "Name=Something" and then I would like to convert it as follows:
{'Date':'10/26/2003',
'Time':'09:01:01 AM'
'User':'teodor'
'UserText':'Max Cor'
'UserTextUnicode':'392039n9dj90j32'.......}
The word between [ ] can be removed, like [User], [System], [Build], [Text], etc...
In some fields there is only the first part of the string:
[Colors]
Red=
Blue=
Yellow=
DarkBlue=
What you have is an ordinary properties file. You can use this example to read the values into map:
try (InputStream input = new FileInputStream("your_file_path")) {
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.load(input);
// prop.getProperty("User") == "teodor"
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
EDIT:
For Python solution, refer to the answerred question.
You can use configparser to read .ini, or .properties files (format you have).
import configparser
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read('your_file_path')
# config['User'] == {'Date': '10/26/2003', 'Time': '09:01:01 AM'...}
# config['User']['User'] == 'teodor'
# config['System'] == {'Type': 'Abosulte', ...}
Can easily be done in python. Assuming your file is named test.txt.
This will also work for lines with nothing after the = as well as lines with multiple =.
d = {}
with open('test.txt', 'r') as f:
for line in f:
line = line.strip() # Remove any space or newline characters
parts = line.split('=') # Split around the `=`
if len(parts) > 1:
d[parts[0]] = ''.join(parts[1:])
print(d)
Output:
{
"Date": "10/26/2003",
"Time": "09:01:01 AM",
"User": "teodor",
"UserText": "Max Cor",
"UserTextUnicode": "392039n9dj90j32",
"Type": "Absolute",
"Dnumber": "QS236",
"Software": "1.1.1.2",
"BuildNr": "0923875",
"Source": "LAM",
"Column": "OWKD",
"StageX": "12345",
"Spotter": "2",
"ApertureX": "0.0098743",
"ApertureY": "0.2431899",
"ShiftXYZ": "-4.234809e-002",
"Text": "Here is the Text files",
"DataBaseNumber": "The database number is 918723"
}
I would suggest to do some cleaning to get rid of the [] lines.
After that you can split those lines by the "=" separator and then convert it to a dictionary.
a bit new to python and json.
i have this json file:
{ "hosts": {
"example1.lab.com" : ["mysql", "apache"],
"example2.lab.com" : ["sqlite", "nmap"],
"example3.lab.com" : ["vim", "bind9"]
}
}
what i want to do is use the hostname variable and extract the values of each hostname.
its a bit hard to explain but im using saltstack, which already iterates over hosts and i want it to be able to extract each host's values from the json file using the hostname variable.
hope im understood.
thanks
o.
You could do something along these lines:
import json
j='''{ "hosts": {
"example1.lab.com" : ["mysql", "apache"],
"example2.lab.com" : ["sqlite", "nmap"],
"example3.lab.com" : ["vim", "bind9"]
}
}'''
specific_key='example2'
found=False
for key,di in json.loads(j).iteritems(): # items on Py 3k
for k,v in di.items():
if k.startswith(specific_key):
found=True
print k,v
break
if found:
break
Or, you could do:
def pairs(args):
for arg in args:
if arg[0].startswith(specific_key):
k,v=arg
print k,v
json.loads(j,object_pairs_hook=pairs)
Either case, prints:
example2.lab.com [u'sqlite', u'nmap']
If you have the JSON in a string then just use Python's json.loads() function to load JSON parse the JSON and load its contents into your namespace by binding it to some local name
Example:
#!/bin/env python
import json
some_json = '''{ "hosts": {
"example1.lab.com" : ["mysql", "apache"],
"example2.lab.com" : ["sqlite", "nmap"],
"example3.lab.com" : ["vim", "bind9"]
}
}'''
some_stuff = json.loads(some_json)
print some_stuff['hosts'].keys()
---> [u'example1.lab.com', u'example3.lab.com', u'example2.lab.com']
As shown you then access the contents of some_stuff just as you would any other Python dictionary ... all the top level variable declaration/assignments which were serialized (encoded) in the JSON will be keys in that dictionary.
If the JSON contents are in a file you can open it like any other file in Python and pass the file object's name to the json.load() function:
#!/bin/python
import json
with open("some_file.json") as f:
some_stuff = json.load(f)
print ' '.join(some_stuff.keys())
If the above json file is stored as 'samplefile.json', you can write following in python:
import json
f = open('samplefile.json')
data = json.load(f)
value1 = data['hosts']['example1.lab.com']
value2 = data['hosts']['example2.lab.com']
value3 = data['hosts']['example3.lab.com']
Let me start by stating that I am new to python. I wrote a script that will convert a .json file to csv format. I managed to write a script to do the job, however I don't think that my script will work if the format of the json file was to change. My script assumes that the json file will be in the same format at all times.

I also have not been able to figure out how not to use the labels I hope someone can help me with this
thanks in advance.
You may want to use csv.DictWriter:
# It's considered best to stash the main logic of your script
# in a main() function like this.
def main(filename, options):
with open(filename) as fi:
data = json.load(fi)
csv_file = '/tmp/' + str(options.orderId) + '.csv'
order = data['Order']
items = data['Items']
frauds = data['FraudReasons']
# Here's one way to keep this maintainable if the JSON
# format changes, and you don't care too much about the
# order of the fields...
orders_fields = sorted(orders.keys())
item_fields = sorted(items[0].keys()) if items else ()
fraud_fields = sorted(fraud[0].keys()) if fraud else ()
csv_options = dict(lineterminator=',')
with open(csv_file, 'w') as fo:
o = csv.DictWriter(fo, order_fields, **csv_options)
o.writeheader()
o.writerow(orders)
fo.write('\n') # Optional, if you want to keep them separated.
o = csv.DictWriter(fo, item_fields, **csv_options)
o.writeheader()
o.writerows(items)
fo.write('\n') # Optional, if you want to keep them separated.
o = csv.DictWriter(fo, fraud_fields, **csv_options)
o.writeheader()
o.writerows(frauds)
# If this script is run from the command line, just run
# main(). Here's the place to use `optparse`.
if __name__ == '__main__':
main(...) # You'll need to fill in the main() arguments...
If you need to specify the order of fields, assign them to a tuple like this:
orders_fields = (
'order_id',
'order_date',
'order_date_shipped',
# ... etc.
)
You should ask the json-generated object (data) for the names of the fields. To retain the input order, tell json to use collections.OrderedDict instead of plain dict (requires python 2.7):
import json
from collections import OrderedDict as ordereddict
data = json.loads(open('mydata.json', object_pairs_hook=ordereddict)
orders = data['Order']
print orders.keys() # Will print the keys in the order they were read
You can then use orders.keys() instead of your hard-coded list, either with writerow or (simpler) with csv.DictWriter.
Note that this uses the default json, not simplejson, and requires python 2.7 for the ordered_pairs_hook argument and the OrderedDict type.
Edit: Yeah, I see from the comments that you're stuck with 2.4. You can download an ordereddict from PyPi, and you can extend the JSONDecoder class and pass it with the cls argument (see here), instead of object_pairs_hook, but that's uglier and more work...
