This is how you can efficiently read, write, and append CSV data using pandas. Let me know if you'd like
additional examples!

To write this data to a CSV file using pandas, follow these steps:
python
import pandas as pd
You can create a dictionary where keys are column headers and values are lists of data:
python
data = {
"name": ["nj", "gh"],
"age": [21, 22],
"sal": ["30k", "15k"]
}
python
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
python
df.to_csv('output.csv', index=False)
print("Data written to output.csv")
Explanation
index=False prevents writing row numbers to the CSV.

load,loads,dump,dumps in json using pandas convert csv to json using pandas convert pandas to csv
using json
To work with JSON using Pandas and understand load, loads, dump, and dumps, here's how you can
proceed:
json.load() → Reads JSON data from a file and converts it to a Python object (e.g., dict).
python
import json
# JSON string
json_str = '{"name": "Alice", "age": 25, "city": "New York"}'
python
import pandas as pd
python
You said:
In Pandas, load, loads, dump, and dumps are not directly available as they are functions from the json
module in Python. However, Pandas provides equivalent functionality using DataFrames for handling
JSON data.
python
import pandas as pd
python
import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO
# JSON string
json_str = '[{"name": "Alice", "age": 25}, {"name": "Bob", "age": 30}]'

how to give indent, delimeter = "\t",encoding = 'utf-8' while readibg/writing the csv file using pandas and
other parameters
You can customize how you read and write CSV files using Pandas by specifying parameters like
delimiter, encoding, and indent (though note that indent applies to JSON, not CSV). Here’s how you
can do it:
Example:
python
import pandas as pd
print(df.head())
Example:
python
# Read CSV with tab delimiter, utf-8 encoding, and specific columns
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv', delimiter='\t', encoding='utf-8', usecols=['name',
'age'], na_values=['N/A'])

When working with JSON files using Pandas, you can customize how you read and write using various
parameters in pd.read_json() and to_json(). Here's how they work:
lines → If set to True, reads JSON as newline-delimited JSON (each line as a JSON object).
dtype → Convert columns to specific data types (dtype={'col1': str, 'col2': int}).
python
import pandas as pd
print(df)
double_precision → Set the number of decimal places for float values (double_precision=2).
Let me know if you'd like more detailed examples or further explanations on any specific parameter!

Working with XML files using Pandas can be done using pd.read_xml() and to_xml() functions.
Similar to JSON and CSV, you can apply various parameters while reading or writing XML files. Here's
how it works:
xpath → Specifies the XML path to parse using XPath expressions (e.g., "//record").
namespaces → Provide namespaces if the XML uses prefixed tags ({'ns': 'http://
example.com'}).
iterparse → Efficient memory usage for large XML files by parsing iteratively.
python
import pandas as pd
print(df.head())
python
python
print(df)
