python - How to convert a csv file, that has array data, into a json file? -

-

i have csv file bunch of columns. few of columns same, want convert them json object live under same array.

for example in csv:

firstname,lastname,pet,pet,pet joe, dimaggio, dog, cat pete, rose, turtle, cat jackie, robinson, dog

i want json be

{ firstname: joe,   lastname: dimaggio,   pets: ["dog", "cat"] }, { firstname: pete,   lastname: rose,   pets: ["turtle", "cat"] }, { firstname: jackie,   lastname: robinson,   pets: ["dog"] }

i'm trying write simple python script i'm running problems.

here's i've got far:

import csv import json  csvfile = open('userdata.csv', 'r') jsonfile = open('userdata.json', 'w')  fieldnames = ("firstname", "lastname", "pet", "pet", "pet"); reader = csv.dictreader( csvfile, fieldnames) record = {} row in reader:     record['firstname'] = row['firstname']     record['lastname'] = row['lastname']     record['pets'] = json.jsonencoder().encode({"pets": [row['pet'], row['pet'], row['pet'], row['pet'], row['pet']]});     json.dump(record, jsonfile, indent=4)     ##json.dump(json.loads(json.jsonencoder(record)), jsonfile, indent=4) print "something worked"

but acting funny since it's printing pets array inside object called pets.

i can't figure out how array pets outside object `pets. it's adding backslashes array items

{     "firstname": "joe",     "lastname": "dimaggio",      "pets": "{\"pets\": [\"dog\", \"cat\"]}" }

it because encoding , using json.dumps encoding twice. remove json.jsonencoder().encode(...) , should work correctly.

import csv import json  csvfile = open('userdata.csv', 'r') jsonfile = open('userdata.json', 'w')  fieldnames = ("firstname", "lastname", "pet", "pet", "pet"); reader = csv.dictreader( csvfile, fieldnames) record = {} row in reader:     record['firstname'] = row['firstname']     record['lastname'] = row['lastname']     record['pets'] = [[row['pet'], row['pet'], row['pet'], row['pet'], row['pet']]     # remove blank entries     record['pets'] = [x x in record['pets'] if x not '']     json.dumps(record, jsonfile, indent=4) print "something worked"

the backslashes saw escaping json string, result of serializing twice.

c# - Where does the .ToList() go in LINQ query result -

when getting data populate data grid, have pulled data, made list , mapped model, this: public list<person> getpeople() { var data = _db.person.tolist(); list<person> people = new list<person>(); foreach (var item in data) { person person = new person() { personid = item.personid, firstname = item.firstname, lastname = item.lastname }; people.add(person); } return people; } this works fine, in interest of writing less code discovered .select method , (what think is) anonymous type. have: public list<person> getpeople() { return _db.person.select(d => new person { personid = item.personid, firstname = item.firstname, lastname = item.lastname }).tolist(); } though not easy read, works fine too. there preference either way? ...

Listeners to visualise results of load test in JMeter -

-
i want run load test in non-gui mode , save results in .csv file. (i have not modified .properties files, standard information saved) i plan load file , visualise results jmeter’s listeners. which listeners suited purpose? should avoid @ cost, might cause me misinterpret information? (e.g. in view results tree response data empty have - - not saved this. however, there has in fact been response. if saw listener might think there hasn’t been one. since want avoid this, listeners have gain information needed .csv file.) i’d know both jmeter listeners plugins. if running test in non-ui mode ideally should disable listeners in script. use '-l' option store test results .jtl extension. can later open jtl file jmeter. aggregate report or summary report should summarize test results , response time , throughput. if want plot graphs see trends on test duration can use http://jmeter-plugins.org/#/ standard , lib set. i suggest following listeners: response ...
