json2html is a Python wrapper designed to convert JSON objects into human-readable HTML table representations. It provides functionalities to transform nested JSON structures into styled HTML tables. The current version is 1.3.0, and while updates are infrequent, it remains an active and functional library for its intended purpose.
pip install json2htmlVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
This quickstart demonstrates how to convert a Python dictionary (representing JSON data) into an HTML table string using the `json2html.convert` method. It also shows how to apply custom HTML attributes to the generated table.
Ensure your input is a Python object: `import json; data_obj = json.loads(json_string); html = json2html.convert(json=data_obj)`.
Pass `escape=False` to the `convert` method: `json2html.convert(json=my_data, escape=False)`.
Pass `clubbing=False` to the `convert` method: `json2html.convert(json=my_data, clubbing=False)`.
pip install json2html
Ensure the JSON data is parsed into a Python dictionary or list using `json.loads()` before passing it to `json2html.convert`.
```python
import json
from json2html import *
json_string = '{"name": "json2html", "description": "Converts JSON to HTML tabular representation"}'
python_object = json.loads(json_string)
html_table = json2html.convert(json = python_object)
print(html_table)
```Modify the input JSON to handle or remove `None` values, perhaps by replacing them with empty strings or other default values, or by preprocessing the data before passing it to `json2html.convert`.
```python
from json2html import *
# Original input with a None value that might cause the error
# input_data_with_null = {"item": "value", "empty_field": None}
# Fix: Replace None with an empty string or remove the key if desired
input_data_fixed = {"item": "value", "empty_field": ""}
# Or remove the key: input_data_fixed = {"item": "value"}
html_table = json2html.convert(json = input_data_fixed)
print(html_table)
```Review the structure of your JSON input to ensure consistency between lists and dictionaries in nested levels. If `json2html` expects a list of dictionaries for a specific feature (like clubbing), ensure your data adheres to that structure. Ensure all list elements are indeed accessed via integer indices and dictionary elements via string keys.
```python
from json2html import *
# Example of expected structure for clubbing (list of dictionaries)
correct_input = {
"products": [
{"id": 1, "name": "Laptop"},
{"id": 2, "name": "Mouse"}
]
}
html_table = json2html.convert(json = correct_input)
print(html_table)
# If you had a list directly, ensure json2html can handle it at the top-level
# or wrap it in a dictionary if the specific conversion requires a top-level dict.
list_input = [
{"id": 1, "name": "Laptop"},
{"id": 2, "name": "Mouse"}
]
html_table_list = json2html.convert(json = list_input) # This should generally work now per library updates
print(html_table_list)
