Here\'s my dataframe example:

Answer 1

If you want a Python dict (the JSON-object equivalent in python) not a JSON string:

df.to_dict(orient='records')

Answer 2

You can use orient='records'

print df.reset_index().to_json(orient='records')

[
     {"id":0,"location":"[50, 50]"},
     {"id":1,"location":"[60, 60]"},
     {"id":2,"location":"[70, 70]"},
     {"id":3,"location":"[80, 80]"}
]
