Flattened JSON

Flattened JSON structure

JSON is not friendly to data scientists, we love tables.

The purpose of this repository is to automate the parsing process of JSON files in the downloaded Facebook archive, turn those JSON files (not easy-to-analyze) to tables (easy-to-analyze) so that it can be easier for data scientists to analyze.

This repository is not only for data scientists, the ultimate goal is to reduce the entry barrier for anyone who wants to analyze their own data.
Actually, it can also be used to turn any data with FB-LIKE JSON structure to table as long as the data structure if similar.
Here is an example of FB-LIKE JSON structure

[
  {
    feature_1: feature_1_of_record_1,
    feature_2: feature_2_of_record_1,
    ...
   },
   {
    feature_1: feature_1_of_record_2,
    feature_2: feature_2_of_record_2,
    ...
   },
   ...
]

This simple document shows the logic behind the JSON to Table conversions. If you are not sure whether or not your data is FB-LIKE, it might give you some hint.
