How to upload json to Django database using loaddata?

Question

Django

I came across a task related to loading data from json into Django db via manage.py loaddata.
The problem is that the data is in this format:

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "first_name": "Gena",
    "last_name": "Bukin",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "gender": "Male",
    "ip_address": "17.13.19.31"
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "first_name": "Anton",
    "last_name": "Drakon",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "gender": "Male",
    "ip_address": "15.25.235.175"
  }
]

I can't figure out why this format and not this one:

[
  {
    "model": "myapp.person",
    "pk": 1,
    "fields": {
      "first_name": "John",
      "last_name": "Lennon"
    }
  },
  {
    "model": "myapp.person",
    "pk": 2,
    "fields": {
      "first_name": "Paul",
      "last_name": "McCartney"
    }
  }
]

Is this a bug in the job or is it still possible to load the data in that format via manage.py loaddata ?

Answer 1

How about writing a script to convert one JSON format to another and then load it via manage.py loaddata?
