Handling Missing Sections in DataFrames: A Step-by-Step Guide to Avoiding Incorrect Normalization
The problem lies in the way you’re handling missing sections in your df2 and df3 dataframes. When a section is missing, you’re assigning an empty list to the corresponding column in df2, which results in an empty string being printed for that row. However, when you normalize this dataframe with json_normalize, it incorrectly identifies the empty strings as dictionaries, leading to incorrect values being filled into df3. To fix this issue, you need to replace the missing sections with actual empty dictionaries when normalizing the dataframes.
