Converting Data in Byte Format to Pandas DataFrame

In the world of data analysis, it’s common to encounter data in various formats, one of which is byte format. If you've ever found yourself facing a byte-string that needs to be converted into a more readable format, such as a Pandas DataFrame, you’re not alone.

In this post, we will walk through how to convert byte data, specifically a JSON-like string, into a Pandas DataFrame, making it easier to manipulate and analyze your data. Here’s how to tackle this conversion step by step.

Understanding the Problem

You have an output in byte format, which appears like this:

Step 3: Normalize the Data

With the data now in a Python dictionary format, you can use pd.json_normalize() to convert it to a DataFrame. Specifically, you'll want to target the facilities list in the data:
