Converting Json to SQL table

Analog to this example: https://github.com/zolekode/json-to-tables/blob/master/example.py

Use the following script:

The following script exports the data as HTML, but you might as well export it as SQL.

table_maker.save_tables(YOUR_PATH, export_as="sql", sql_connection=YOUR_CONNECTION)
# See the code below
import json
from extent_table import ExtentTable
from table_maker import TableMaker

Volumes = [

volumes = json.dumps(Volumes)
volumes = json.loads(volumes)

extent_table = ExtentTable()
table_maker = TableMaker(extent_table)
table_maker.convert_json_objects_to_tables(volumes, "volumes")
table_maker.show_tables(8)
table_maker.save_tables("./", export_as="html") # you can also pass in export_as="sql" or "csv". In the case of sql, there is a parameter to pass the engine.

I would do it this way:

fn = r'D:\temp\.data\40450591.json'

with open(fn) as f:
    data = json.load(f)

# some of your records seem NOT to have `Tags` key, hence `KeyError: 'Tags'`
# let's fix it
for r in data['Volumes']:
    if 'Tags' not in r:
        r['Tags'] = []

v = pd.DataFrame(data['Volumes']).drop(['Attachments', 'Tags'],1)
a = pd.io.json.json_normalize(data['Volumes'], 'Attachments', ['VolumeId'], meta_prefix='parent_')
t = pd.io.json.json_normalize(data['Volumes'], 'Tags', ['VolumeId'], meta_prefix='parent_')

v.to_sql('volume', engine)
a.to_sql('attachment', engine)
t.to_sql('tag', engine)

Output:
