The codebase provides some interactions with .json and .jsonl file formats

Setup

Virtual environment

Create a virtual environment using conda
conda create --name <your virtual environment> python=<your preferred python version>

Activate the environment conda activate <your virtual environment>

Module importation

The most important modules to import are json and jsonlines

• import json
• import jsonlines

The other modules included the project can be imported/installed at leisure. Ensure you're within your virtual environment when installing modules.

Basic file operations

Reading a file

with jsonlines.open(f'{PATH}/{file_name}.jsonl') as reader:\n",
    "        for obj in reader:\n",
    "            ...",

with jsonlines.open(f'{PATH}/{file_name}.jsonl', mode='a') as writer:\n",
    "        ...",

Sample project: Working with word etymologies

• Dataset: /asian_data/asian_words.json

• Requirements: A Wordnik API Key. Visit Wordnik to learn more.

• Open main.ipynb and navigate to Sample project

• Reading the json file.

• Converting the dict values to type list

• Retrieving word etymologies from the API

• Append the etymologies to your json file
