DataFrame.toJSON
Convert DataFrame to JSON format
DataFrame.toJSON(options)
Parameters | Type | Description | Default |
options | object, optional | Configuration object: filePath: Local file path to write the CSV file to. If not specified, the CSV will be returned as a string. Only needed in Nodejs versionfileName: The name of the file to download as. Only needed in browser environment.format: The format of the JSON. Can be one of row or column. | {
format: "column"
} |
The toJSON function can be used to write out a DataFrame or Series to JSON format/file. The output is configurable and will depend on the environment. In the following examples, we show you how to write/download a JSON file from Node and Browser environments.
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' ]
}

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" });
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 });
