Lab Exercise 12 - Read JSON Using PyQt

This document provides a code example to create a PyQt application that loads JSON data from a file and displays it in a table widget. The application contains a central widget with a table and load button. When the load button is clicked, a file dialog opens to select a JSON file, whose contents are then loaded and used to populate the table with keys and values.

Lab Exercise 12- Read JSON using PyQt

Lab Exercise: Read JSON file with PyQt and QML and Present on QTable

Creating a PyQt project to read and display JSON data involves several steps. In this
example, I'll provide a simple PyQt application that loads JSON data from a file and
displays it in a table widget. You'll need to have PyQt5 installed. If you haven't
already installed it, you can use pip to install it:

pip install PyQt5

Create a JSON file as given below:

Test.json
{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 30,
"city": "New York",
"email": "[email protected]",
"hobbies": ["Reading", "Hiking", "Cooking"],
"is_student": false
}

Now, you can create a PyQt application to read and display JSON data. Here's a basic
example:
import sys
import json
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QTableWidget,
QTableWidgetItem, QVBoxLayout, QPushButton, QWidget, QFileDialog

class JSONViewer(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()

def initUI(self):
self.setGeometry(100, 100, 800, 600)
self.setWindowTitle('JSON Viewer')

# Create a central widget


central_widget = QWidget(self)
self.setCentralWidget(central_widget)

# Create a table widget to display JSON data


self.table = QTableWidget(self)
central_layout = QVBoxLayout()
central_layout.addWidget(self.table)

# Create a load button


self.load_button = QPushButton('Load JSON', self)
self.load_button.clicked.connect(self.load_json)

central_layout.addWidget(self.load_button)
central_widget.setLayout(central_layout)

def load_json(self):
options = QFileDialog.Options()
file_name, _ = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, "Open JSON File", "", "JSON
Files (*.json);;All Files (*)", options=options)

if file_name:
with open(file_name, 'r') as json_file:
data = json.load(json_file)

# Set the table widget rows and columns


self.table.setRowCount(len(data))
self.table.setColumnCount(2)

# Populate the table with JSON data


for row, (key, value) in enumerate(data.items()):
key_item = QTableWidgetItem(str(key))
value_item = QTableWidgetItem(str(value))
self.table.setItem(row, 0, key_item)
self.table.setItem(row, 1, value_item)

# Set headers for the table


self.table.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(['Key', 'Value'])

def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = JSONViewer()
ex.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Save this code in a Python file (e.g., json_viewer.py) and run it. This PyQt application
provides a simple user interface with a "Load JSON" button. When you click the
button, you can select a JSON file, and the application will display the JSON data in a
table format.
