Data Utils¶
- dataprofiler.data_readers.data_utils.data_generator(data_list)¶
Takes a list and returns a generator on the list.
- Parameters
data_list (list) – list of strings
- Returns
item from the list
- Return type
generator
- dataprofiler.data_readers.data_utils.generator_on_file(file_object)¶
Takes a file and returns a generator that returns lines
- Parameters
file_path (path) – path to the file
- Returns
Line from file
- Return type
generator
- dataprofiler.data_readers.data_utils.convert_int_to_string(x)¶
Converts the given input to string. In particular, it is int, it converts it ensuring there is no . or 00 in the converted string. In addition, if the input is np.nan, the output will be ‘nan’ which is what we need to handle data properly.
- Parameters
x (Union[int, float, str, numpy.nan]) –
- Returns
- Return type
str
- dataprofiler.data_readers.data_utils.unicode_to_str(data, ignore_dicts=False)¶
Convert data to string representation if it is a unicode string.
- Parameters
data (str) – input data
ignore_dicts (boolean) – if set, ignore the dictionary type processing
- Returns
string representation of data
- Return type
str
- dataprofiler.data_readers.data_utils.json_to_dataframe(json_lines, selected_columns=None, read_in_string=False)¶
This function takes a list of json objects and returns the dataframe representing the json list.
- Parameters
json_lines (list(dict)) – list of json objects
selected_columns (list(str)) – a list of keys to be processed
read_in_string (bool) – if True, all the values in dataframe will be converted to string
- Returns
dataframe converted from json list and list of dtypes for each column
- Return type
tuple(pd.DataFrame, pd.Series(dtypes))
- dataprofiler.data_readers.data_utils.read_json_df(data_generator, selected_columns=None, read_in_string=False)¶
This function returns an iterator that returns a chunk of data as dataframe in each call. The source of input to this function is either a file or a list of JSON structured strings. If the file path is given as input, the file is expected to have one JSON structures in each line. The lines that are not valid json will be ignored. Therefore, a file with pretty printed JSON objects will not be considered valid JSON. If the input is a data list, it is expected to be a list of strings where each string is a valid JSON object. if the individual object is not valid JSON, it will be ignored.
NOTE: both data_list and file_path cannot be passed at the same time.
- Parameters
data_generator (generator) – The generator you want to read.
selected_columns (list(str)) – a list of keys to be processed
read_in_string (bool) – if True, all the values in dataframe will be converted to string
- Returns
returns an iterator that returns a chunk of file as dataframe in each call as well as original dtypes of the dataframe columns.
- Return type
typle(Iterator(pd.DataFrame), pd.Series(dtypes)
- dataprofiler.data_readers.data_utils.read_json(data_generator, selected_columns=None, read_in_string=False)¶
This function returns the lines of a json. The source of input to this function is either a file or a list of JSON structured strings. If the file path is given as input, the file is expected to have one JSON structures in each line. The lines that are not valid json will be ignored. Therefore, a file with pretty printed JSON objects will not be considered valid JSON. If the input is a data list, it is expected to be a list of strings where each string is a valid JSON object. if the individual object is not valid JSON, it will be ignored.
NOTE: both data_list and file_path cannot be passed at the same time.
- Parameters
data_generator (generator) – The generator you want to read.
selected_columns (list(str)) – a list of keys to be processed
read_in_string (bool) – if True, all the values in dataframe will be converted to string
- Returns
returns the lines of a json file
- Return type
list(dict)
- dataprofiler.data_readers.data_utils.read_csv_df(file_path, delimiter, header, selected_columns=[], read_in_string=False, encoding='utf-8')¶
