Skipping Non-Dictionary Values in JSON Data with Python Pandas
Here’s the updated code: import pandas as pd import json with open('chaos-space-marines.json') as f: d = json.load(f) L = [] for k, v in d.items(): if isinstance(v, dict): for k1, v1 in v.items(): # Check if v1 is also a dictionary (to avoid nested values) if not isinstance(v1, dict): L.append({**{'unit': k, 'model': k1}, **v1}) else: print ('outer loop') print (v) df = pd.DataFrame(L) print(df) This code will skip any model values that are not dictionaries and instead append the entire outer dictionary to the list.
