Converting a pandas data-frame to a dictionary

Question

Let's say i have this 'Employee' data-set:

   Designation   Name
0   Developer    Raj
1         CTO    Sam
2         CEO    Suzy
3         CFO    Anne
4         COO    Rohan

I would want to convert this data-frame to a dictionary like this:

[{'Designation': 'Developer', 'Name': 'Raj'}, {'Designation': 'CTO', 'Name': 'Sam'}, {'Designation': 'CEO', 'Name': 'Suzy'}, {'Designation': 'CFO', 'Name': 'Anne'}, {'Designation': 'COO', 'Name': 'Rohan'}]

Answer 1

Emp_dict=Employee.to_dict('records')

You can directly use the 'to_dict()' function and use the parameter 'records', so that manual transposing is not required.

print(Emp.dict)

[{'Designation': 'Developer', 'Name': 'Raj'}, {'Designation': 'CTO', 'Name': 'Sam'}, {'Designation': 'CEO', 'Name': 'Suzy'}, {'Designation': 'CFO', 'Name': 'Anne'}, {'Designation': 'COO', 'Name': 'Rohan'}]
