How to convert blaze data objects to json?

While trying to use json.dumps in blaze error occurs saying TypeError: object is not JSON serializable. 

data = Data("employee.json")
json.dumps(data)
Solution

  • You can't directly convert it to JSON.

    Alternate way is as follows : 

    fields = [] # Create an empty list to hold the field names
for fieldName in data.fields: # Iterate the field names 
    fields.append(fieldName) # Add to the list

result = []        
for row in data: # Iterate each row
    currentRow = {} 
    count = 0 
    for value in row: 
        currentRow[fields[count]] = value # Add each value with corresponding key from fields
        count = count + 1
    result.append(currentRow) 
print(json.dumps(result))
