langchain_community.document_loaders.json_loader.JSONLoader

class langchain_community.document_loaders.json_loader.JSONLoader(file_path: Union[str, Path], jq_schema: str, content_key: Optional[str] = None, is_content_key_jq_parsable: Optional[bool] = False, metadata_func: Optional[Callable[[Dict, Dict], Dict]] = None, text_content: bool = True, json_lines: bool = False)

Load a JSON file using a jq schema.

Example

[{“text”: …}, {“text”: …}, {“text”: …}] -> schema = .[].text {“key”: [{“text”: …}, {“text”: …}, {“text”: …}]} -> schema = .key[].text [“”, “”, “”] -> schema = .[]

Initialize the JSONLoader.

Parameters

• file_path (Union[str, Path]) – The path to the JSON or JSON Lines file.

• jq_schema (str) – The jq schema to use to extract the data or text from the JSON.

• content_key (str) – The key to use to extract the content from the JSON if the jq_schema results to a list of objects (dict). If is_content_key_jq_parsable is True, this has to be a jq compatible schema. If is_content_key_jq_parsable is False, this should be a simple string key.

• is_content_key_jq_parsable (bool) – A flag to determine if content_key is parsable by jq or not. If True, content_key is treated as a jq schema and compiled accordingly. If False or if content_key is None, content_key is used as a simple string. Default is False.

• metadata_func (Callable[Dict, Dict]) – A function that takes in the JSON object extracted by the jq_schema and the default metadata and returns a dict of the updated metadata.

• text_content (bool) – Boolean flag to indicate whether the content is in string format, default to True.

• json_lines (bool) – Boolean flag to indicate whether the input is in JSON Lines format.
