pip install dsjson

🚀 Quick Start

from dsjson import load_metadata, to_dataset_json
import pandas as pd

# Load data and metadata

columns = load_metadata("examples/columns_vs.csv", file_type="csv")

# Create Dataset-JSON
ds = to_dataset_json(
    data_df=rows,
    columns_df=columns,
    name="VS",
    label="Vital Signs",
    itemGroupOID="IG.VS",
    originator="My CRO",
    sourceSystem_name="Python",
    sourceSystem_version="3.10",
    fileOID="F.VS.001",
