Is there any easy way to generate such a JSON? I found os.walk()
and os.listdir()
, so I may do recursive descending into directories and build a python object, well, but it sounds like reinventing a wheel, maybe someone knows working code for such a task?
{ "type": "directory", "name": "hello", "children": [ { "type": "directory", "name": "world", "children": [ { "type": "file", "name": "one.txt" }, { "type": "file", "name": "two.txt" } ] }, { "type": "file", "name": "README" } ] }
I don't think that this task is a "wheel" (so to speak). But it is something which you can easily achieve by means of the tools you mentioned:
import os import json def path_to_dict(path): d = {'name': os.path.basename(path)} if os.path.isdir(path): d['type'] = "directory" d['children'] = [path_to_dict(os.path.join(path,x)) for x in os.listdir\ (path)] else: d['type'] = "file" return d print json.dumps(path_to_dict('.'))
