Good stuff. Here's a stab at the inverse: function json2df(jsonstr) dictvec = JSON.parse(jsonstr) DataFrame(Dict(map(k->(k=>[row[k] for row in dictvec]), keys(dictvec[1 ] end

It doesn't pretty print, but is there anything wrong with this: using JSON json([[string(col)=> df[col][row] for col in names(df)] for row in 1:nrow(df)]) Just to break it down, this part creates the dictionary for each row: [string(col)=> df[col][row] for col in names(df)] and

Hi JobJob, I like that too. Thanks! When I got my df2json working, the next thing I naturally did was try JSON.parse(json) and saw I got back an array of Dicts, so thought constructing an array of Dicts from a DataFrame could also be a way to go, but couldn't get it to work. Your solution

I’d try to use the built-in tools for iterating and transforming stuff to make the code a little terser and easier to read: function df2json(df) io = IOBuffer() write(io, "[\n") write(io, join(map(row -> "{\"A\": $(row[:A]), \"B\": \"$(row[:B])\"}", eachrow(d)), ",\n"))

This is embarrassing since I'm just learning, but in the interest of getting feedback and improving my Julia coding skills, here is what I did: function df2json(df::DataFrame) nrow,ncol = size(df) io = IOBuffer(); write(io,"[\n") for irow = 1:nrow irow == nrow ? eor = "" : eor = ","
