json2html 0.3

JSON object to human readable HTML representation

Python wrapper to convert JSON object into a human readable HTML representation.

Features

1. User-friendly Table fomat - easy to read and show.

2. If any value of some key is array of objects, and all keys of all those objects are same, it will auto-club them instead of creating a new row for each Object within Array. For eg: `jsonObject = {"sampleData": [ {"a":1, "b":2, "c":3}, {"a":5, "b":6, "c":7} ] }`

3. Easy to style for different purposes. Pass table attributes so that generated Table can have custom attributes like class, etc..

Installation

$ pip install json2html

Or, Download here and run python setup.py install after changing directory to /json2html

Example Usage

Example 1: Basic usage

from json2html import *
json2html.convert(json = {'name':'softvar','age':'22'})

Output:

<table border="1"><tr><th>age</th><td>22</td></tr><tr><th>name</th><td>softvar</td></tr></table>

age	22
name	softvar

Example 2: Setting custom attributes to table

from json2html import *
json2html.convert(json = {'name':'softvar','age':'22'}, table_attributes="class=\"table table-bordered table-hover\"")

Output:

<table class="table table-bordered table-hover"><tr><th>age</th><td>22</td></tr><tr><th>name</th><td>softvar</td></tr></table>

Example 3: Clubbing same keys of: Array of Objects

from json2html import *
_json2conv = {"sample": [ {"a":1, "b":2, "c":3}, {"a":5, "b":6, "c":7} ] }
json2html.convert(json = _json2conv)

Output:

<table border="1"><tr><th>sample</th><td><table border="1"><tr><th>a</th><th>c</th><th>b</th></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>3</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>7</td><td>6</td></tr></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

from json2html import *
_json2conv = {"sample": [ {"a":1, "b":2, "c":3}, {"1a1":5, "1b1":6, "c":7} ] }
json2html.convert(json = _json2conv)

Output:

<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>

from json2html import *

_json2conv = {
        "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 = _json2conv)

Output:

<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>
