will create only one row combining the results. This feature can be turned off by explicitly passing an argument ``clubbing = False``.
attributes explicitly. Eg. giving an id, class or any data-* attribute.Click here <http://json2html.varunmalhotra.xyz/>_ for the online demo.
json2html.convert - The module's convert method accepts the following arguments:
===================== ================ Argument Description
json a valid JSON; This can either be a string in valid JSON format or a python object that is either dict-like or list-like at the top level.
table_attributes e.g. pass id="info-table" or class="bootstrap-class"/data-* to apply these attributes to the generated table
clubbing turn on[default]/off clubbing of list with same keys of a dict / Array of objects with same key
encode turn on/off[default] encoding of result to escaped html, compatible with any browser
escape turn on[default]/off escaping of html tags in text nodes (prevents XSS attacks in case you pass untrusted data to json2html)
===================== ================
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install json2html
Or, Download here and run python setup.py install after changing directory to /json2html
Example 1: Basic usage
.. code-block:: python
from json2html import *
input = {
"name": "json2html",
"description": "Converts JSON to HTML tabular representation"
}
json2html.convert(json = input)
Output:
.. code-block:: bash
<table border="1"><tr><th>name</th><td>json2html</td></tr><tr><th>description</th><td>converts JSON to HTML tabular representation</td></tr></table>
============ ======================================================== name json2html
description Converts JSON to HTML tabular representation ============ ========================================================
Example 2: Setting custom attributes to table
.. code-block:: python
from json2html import *
input = {
"name": "json2html",
"description": "Converts JSON to HTML tabular representation"
}
json2html.convert(json = input, table_attributes="id=\"info-table\" class=\"table table-bordered table-hover\"")
Output:
.. code-block:: bash
<table id="info-table" class="table table-bordered table-hover"><tr><th>name</th><td>json2html</td></tr><tr><th>description</th><td>Converts JSON to HTML tabular representation</td></tr></table>
Example 3: Clubbing same keys of: Array of Objects
.. code-block:: python
from json2html import *
input = {
"sample": [{
"a":1, "b":2, "c":3
}, {
"a":5, "b":6, "c":7
}]
}
json2html.convert(json = input)
Output:
.. code-block:: bash
<table border="1"><tr><th>sample</th><td><table border="1"><thead><tr><th>b</th><th>c</th><th>a</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>1</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>7</td><td>5</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table>
======== ======= ======= a c b
1 3 2
5 7 6 ======== ======= =======
Example 4: Each row for different key(s) of: Array of Objects
.. code-block:: python
from json2html import *
input = {
"sample": [{
"a":1, "b":2, "c":3
}, {
"1a1":5, "1b1":6, "c":7
}]
}
json2html.convert(json = input)
Output:
.. code-block:: bash
<table border="1"><tr><th>sample</th><td><ul><li><table border="1"><tr><th>a</th><td>1</td></tr><tr><th>c</th><td>3</td></tr><tr><th>b</th><td>2</td></tr></table></li><li><table border="1"><tr><th>1b1</th><td>6</td></tr><tr><th>c</th><td>7</td></tr><tr><th>1a1</th><td>5</td></tr></table></li></ul></td></tr></table>
Example 5: [Source: json.org/example <http://json.org/example>_]
.. code-block:: python
from json2html import *
input = {
"glossary": {
"title": "example glossary",
"GlossDiv": {
"title": "S",
"GlossList": {
"GlossEntry": {
"ID": "SGML",
"SortAs": "SGML",
"GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language",
"Acronym": "SGML",
"Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986",
"GlossDef": {
"para": "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.",
"GlossSeeAlso": ["GML", "XML"]
},
"GlossSee": "markup"
}
}
}
}
}
json2html.convert(json = input)
Output:
.. code-block:: bash
<table border="1"><tr><th>glossary</th><td><table border="1"><tr><th>GlossDiv</th><td><table border="1"><tr><th>GlossList</th><td><table border="1"><tr><th>GlossEntry</th><td><table border="1"><tr><th>GlossDef</th><td><table border="1"><tr><th>GlossSeeAlso</th><td><ul><li>GML</li><li>XML</li></ul></td></tr><tr><th>para</th><td>A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.</td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><th>GlossSee</th><td>markup</td></tr><tr><th>Acronym</th><td>SGML</td></tr><tr><th>GlossTerm</th><td>Standard Generalized Markup Language</td></tr><tr><th>Abbrev</th><td>ISO 8879:1986</td></tr><tr><th>SortAs</th><td>SGML</td></tr><tr><th>ID</th><td>SGML</td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><th>title</th><td>S</td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><th>title</th><td>example glossary</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
