Convert DataFrame/Series to JSON and return value
Node.js
Browser
const dfd = require("danfojs-node")
​
let data = {
  Abs: [20.2, 30, 47.3],
  Count: [34, 4, 5],
  "country code": ["NG", "FR", "GH"],
};
​
let df = new dfd.DataFrame(data);
​
const jsonObj = df.toJSON(); //defaults to column format
console.log(jsonObj);
​
//output
[
  { Abs: 20.2, Count: 34, 'country code': 'NG' },
  { Abs: 30, Count: 4, 'country code': 'FR' },
  { Abs: 47.3, Count: 5, 'country code': 'GH' }
]
​
//row format
const jsonObjRow = df.toJSON({
    format: "row"
});
  
​
console.log(jsonObjRow);
//output
{
  Abs: [ 20.2, 30, 47.3 ],
  Count: [ 34, 4, 5 ],
  'country code': [ 'NG', 'FR', 'GH' ]

Convert DataFrame/Series to JSON and write to local file path
Writing a DataFrame/Series as JSON, to a local file path is only supported in the Nodejs environment
Node.js
const dfd = require("danfojs-node")
​
let data = {
    Abs: [20.2, 30, 47.3],
    Count: [34, 4, 5],
    "country code": ["NG", "FR", "GH"],
};
​
let df = new dfd.DataFrame(data);
​
df.toJSON({ filePath: "./testOutput.json" });
Convert DataFrame/Series to JSON and download file in browser
You can automatically convert and download a DataFrame/Series as a JSON file in a browser environment, by specifying a fileName and setting download to true.
let data = {
    Abs: [20.2, 30, 47.3],
    Count: [34, 4, 5],
    "country code": ["NG", "FR", "GH"],
};
​
let df = new dfd.DataFrame(data);
​
df.toJSON({ fileName: "test_out.json", download: true });
