verticapy.pjson

verticapy.pjson(path: str, ingest_local: bool = True) → dict[str, str]

Parses a JSON file using flex tables. It identifies the columns and their respective types.

Parameters

path: str

Absolute path where the JSON file is located.

ingest_local: bool, optional

If set to True, the file will be ingested from the local machine.

Returns

dict

dictionary containing column names and their SQL data type.

Examples

In this example, we will first create a JSON file using vDataFrame.to_json() and ingest it into Vertica database.

We import verticapy:

import verticapy as vp

Hint

By assigning an alias to verticapy, we mitigate the risk of code collisions with other libraries. This precaution is necessary because verticapy uses commonly known function names like “average” and “median”, which can potentially lead to naming conflicts. The use of an alias ensures that the functions from verticapy are used as intended without interfering with functions from other libraries.

We will use the Titanic dataset.

import verticapy.datasets as vpd

data = vpd.load_titanic()

Note

VerticaPy offers a wide range of sample datasets that are ideal for training and testing purposes. You can explore the full list of available datasets in the Datasets, which provides detailed information on each dataset and how to use them effectively. These datasets are invaluable resources for honing your data analysis and machine learning skills within the VerticaPy environment.

Let’s convert the vDataFrame to a JSON.

data[0:20].to_json(
    path = "titanic_subset.json",
)

Our JSON file is ready to be parsed now.

from verticapy.core.parsers.json import pjson

pjson(
    path = "titanic_subset.json",
)

Out[4]: 
{'boat': 'Integer',
 'body': 'Integer',
 'cabin': 'Varchar(20)',
 'age': 'Numeric(8,4)',
 'home.dest': 'Varchar(64)',
 'embarked': 'Varchar(20)',
 'sex': 'Varchar(20)',
 'parch': 'Integer',
 'pclass': 'Integer',
 'fare': 'Numeric(11,6)',
 'name': 'Varchar(64)',
 'sibsp': 'Integer',
 'survived': 'Integer',
