TreeView to JSON in Python
[Edit: apparently this file looks similar to h5 format] I am trying to extract metadata from a file with extension of (.dm3) using hyperspy in Python, I am able to get all the data but it's getting saved in a treeview, but I need the data in Json I tried to make my own parser to convert it which worked for most cases but then failed:
Is there a library or package I can use to convert the treeview to JSON in pyhton?
My parser:
def writearray(file,string):
k = string.split('=')
file.write('"' + k[0] + '":' + '[')
for char in k[1]:
file.write(char)
file.write(']')
def writenum(file,string):
k = string.split('=')
file.write('"' + k[0] + '":' + k[1])
def writestr(file,string):
k = string.split('=')
file.write('"' + k[0] + '":' +'"'+ k[1]+'"')
def startnew(file,string):
file.write('"'+string+'":'+'{\n')
def closenum(file,string):
k = string.split('=')
file.write('"' + k[0] + '":' + k[1] + '\n')
file.write('},\n')
def closestr(file,string):
k = string.split('=')
file.write('"' + k[0] + '":' + '"' + k[1] + '"' + '\n')
file.write('},\n')
def closearr(file,string):
k = string.split('=')
file.write('"' + k[0] + '":' + '[')
for char in k[1]:
file.write(char)
file.write(']\n')
file.write('},\n')
def strfix(string):
temp = ''
for char in string:
if char != ' ':
temp += char
return temp
def writethis(file,string):
stripped = strfix(string)
if "=" in stripped:
temp = stripped.split("=")
if ',' in temp[1]:
writearray(file,stripped)
elif temp[1].isdigit() or temp[1].isdecimal():
writenum(file,stripped)
else:
writestr(file,stripped)
def createMetaData(dm3file):
txtfile = os.path.splitext(dm3file)[0] + '.txt'
jsonfile = os.path.splitext(dm3file)[0] + '.json'
s = hs.load(dm3file)
s.original_metadata.export(txtfile)
file1 = open(txtfile, 'r', encoding="utf-8")
Lines = file1.readlines()
k = []
for line in Lines:
k.append(line)
L = []
for string in k:
temp = ''
for char in string:
if char.isalpha() or char.isdigit() or char == '=' or char == ' ' or char == '<' or char == '>' or char == ',' or char == '.' or char == '-' or char == ':':
temp += char
L.append(temp)
file2 = open(jsonfile, 'w', encoding="utf-8")
file2.write('{\n')
for i in range(0, len(L) - 1):
currentspaces = len(L[i]) - len(L[i].lstrip())
nextspaces = len(L[i + 1]) - len(L[i + 1].lstrip())
sub = nextspaces - currentspaces
if i != len(L) - 2:
if (sub == 0):
writethis(file2, L[i])
if '=' in L[i]:
file2.write(',\n')
else:
file2.write('\n')
elif sub > 0:
startnew(file2, L[i])
else:
if sub == -3:
writethis(file2, L[i])
file2.write('\n},\n')
elif sub == -7:
writethis(file2, L[i])
file2.write('\n}\n},\n')
else:
writethis(file2, L[i])
file2.write('\n}\n}\n}\n}')
file1.close()
os.remove(txtfile)
enter code here
I wrote a parser for the tree-view format:
from ast import literal_eval
from collections import abc
from more_itertools import peekable
def parse_literal(x: str):
try:
return literal_eval(x)
except Exception:
return x.strip()
def _treeview_parse_list(lines: peekable) -> list:
list_as_dict = {}
for line in (x.strip() for x in lines):
raw_k, raw_v = line.split(' = ')
list_as_dict[int(raw_k.split()[-1][1:-1])] = parse_literal(raw_v)
peek = lines.peek(None)
if '╚' in line or (peek is not None and '├' in peek):
break
list_as_list = [None] * (max(list_as_dict) + 1)
for idx, v in list_as_dict.items():
list_as_list[idx] = v
return list_as_list
def _treeview_parse_dict(lines: peekable) -> dict:
node = {}
for line in (x.strip() for x in lines):
if ' = ' in line:
raw_k, raw_v = line.split(' = ')
node[raw_k.split()[-1]] = parse_literal(raw_v)
elif '<list>' in line:
node[line.split()[-2]] = _treeview_parse_list(lines)
else:
try:
idx = line.index('├')
except ValueError:
idx = line.index('└')
peek = lines.peek(None)
if peek is not None and '├' in peek and idx == peek.index('├'):
node[line.split()[-1]] = {}
else:
node[line.split()[-1]] = _treeview_parse_dict(lines)
if '└' in line:
break
return node
def treeview_to_dict(lines: abc.Iterable) -> dict:
return _treeview_parse_dict(peekable(lines))
Usage:
with open('meta.txt') as f:
d = treeview_to_dict(f)
You can obtain the metadata as a JSON file using Python's built-in json library:
import json
with open('meta.txt') as txt_file:
with open('meta.json', 'w') as json_file:
json.dump(treeview_to_dict(txt_file), json_file, indent=4)
I've added indent=4 to make the JSON file more human-readable, so that you can verify it against the original format. As far as I can tell they match up in a sensible way.
As I've written this, it uses the third-party more_itertools.peekable class. If you can't use more_itertools, it shouldn't be too hard to implement that functionality yourself, or just refactor the code so that it is no longer necessary to look ahead.
