I would like some help converting a tuple in format [(X, Y, Z),(..) of type (string, string, int)] to a JSON file in the format:
{
"name": "X",
"children": [{
"name": "Y",
"value": Z
}]
}
I have at least 1M values to convert and at the moment I have attempted using a key for the dictionary:
b = (dict(zip(keys,row)) for row in tuples)
using the JSON library
print (json.dumps(list(b)))
however this yields a JSON in the format
[{"type": "y", "name": "z", "count": z},...
Preferably I would like the Y and Z values to be nested under children and the X value to be used once per unique string.
{
"name": "X",
"children": [{
"name": "Y",
"value": Z
},
{
"name": "Y2",
"value": Z2
}]
}

Assuming you want a list of dicts as the output of the json with each dict be the form in your question:
The following one liner will put it into the data structure your looking for with each tuple generating it's own complete structure:
[{'name':i[0], 'children': [{'name': i[1], 'value': i[2]}]} for i in tuples]
But I suspect you want the outer name to be unique with inner children being built from multiple tuples, such that there is only one such structure generated with 'name' == X.
To do it in a memory efficient manner start by sorting your tuples by X:
# should work as long as you aren't doing any fancy sorting
stuples = sorted(tuples)
name = None
dat = None
for t in stuples:
if name != t[0]:
if dat is not None:
writeDat(json.dumps(dat))
name = t[0]
dat = {'name': t[0], 'children': [{'name': t[1], 'value': t[2]}]}
else:
dat['children'].append({'name': t1, 'value': t[2]})
I assume you have a function to write one of these out such as writeDat() that takes the json so you aren't storing them all in ram.
