I need to sort out a JSON array into a Hierarchy, here my JSON file, it\'s never ordered but follow structure:

{
  \"name\":\"Folder 2\",
  \"id\":\"zRDg\",

    myJson = [
        {
          "name":"Folder 2",
          "id":"zRDg",
          "parent":"OY00",
          "type":"folder"
        },
        {
          "name":"Folder 1",
          "id":"OY00",
          "type":"folder"
        },
        {
          "name":"Folder 3",
          "id":"ZDE1",
          "type":"folder"
        },
        {
          "name":"DX00025.jpg",
          "id":"9Xdd",
          "parent":"OY00",
          "type":"jpeg"
        }
    ]
    
    #this creates a dictionary that maps id names to JSON items.
    #ex. itemsKeyedById["9Xdd"] gives the jpg item with id "9Xdd"
    itemsKeyedById = {i["id"]: i for i in myJson}
    
    #iterate through each item in the `myJson` list.
    for item in myJson:
        #does the item have a parent?
        if "parent" in item:
            #get the parent item
            parent = itemsKeyedById[item["parent"]]
            #if the parent item doesn't have a "children" member, 
            #we must create one.
            if "children" not in parent:
                parent["children"] = []
            #add the item to its parent's "children" list.
            parent["children"].append(item)
    
    #filter out any item that has a parent.
    #They don't need to appear at the top level, 
    #since they will appear underneath another item elsewhere.
    topLevelItems = [item for item in myJson if "parent" not in item]
    print topLevelItems
    

    Output (with indentation added by me):

    [
        {
            'name': 'Folder 1', 
            'id': 'OY00',
            'type': 'folder',
            'children': [
                {
                    'name': 'Folder 2', 
                    'id': 'zRDg',
                    'parent': 'OY00', 
                    'type': 'folder'
                }, 
                {
                    'name': 'DX00025.jpg', 
                    'id': '9Xdd',
                    'parent': 'OY00', 
                    'type': 'jpeg' 
                }
            ]
        }, 
        {
            'name': 'Folder 3', 
            'id': 'ZDE1',
            'type': 'folder'
        }
     ]
    

    It also works with items that are nested more than one deep. Example input:

    myJson = [
        {
            "name":"TopLevel folder",
            "id":"0",
            "type":"folder",
        },
        {
            "name":"MidLevel folder",
            "id":"1",
            "type":"folder",
            "parent":"0"
        },
        {
            "name":"Bottom Level folder",
            "id":"2",
            "type":"folder",
            "parent":"1"
        },
        {
            "name":"Vacation Picture",
            "id":"3",
            "type":"jpg",
            "parent":"2"
        },
    ]
    

    Output:

    [
        {
            'type': 'folder', 
            'name': 'TopLevel folder', 
            'id': '0',
            'children': [
                {
                    'type': 'folder', 
                    'name': 'MidLevel folder', 
                    'parent': '0', 
                    'id': '1',
                    'children': [
                        {
                            'type': 'folder', 
                            'name': 'Bottom Level folder', 
                            'parent': '1', 
                            'id': '2',
                            'children': [
                                {
                                    'type': 'jpg', 
                                    'name': 'Vacation Picture', 
                                    'parent': '2', 
                                    'id': '3'
                                }
                            ] 
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]

    How about using something like the Python networkx library?

    import json
    #networkx is a library for working with networks and trees
    import networkx as nx
    #The json_graph routines print out JSONic representations of graphs and trees
    #http://networkx.github.com/documentation/latest/reference/readwrite.json_graph.html
    from networkx.readwrite import json_graph
    
    dd='[{ "name":"Folder 2", "id":"zRDg", "parent":"OY00", "type":"folder"},{ "name":"Folder 1", "id":"OY00", "type":"folder"},{"name":"Folder 3", "id":"ZDE1", "type":"folder"},{ "name":"DX00025.jpg", "id":"9Xdd", "parent":"OY00", "type":"jpeg"}]'
    d=json.loads(dd)
    
    #A tree is a directed graph - create one with a dummy root
    DG=nx.DiGraph()
    DG.add_node('root')
    
    #Construct the tree as a directed graph and annotate the nodes with attributes
    #Edges go from parent to child
    for e in d:
      DG.add_node(e['id'],name=e['name'],type=e['type'])
      #If there's a parent, use it...
      if 'parent' in e: DG.add_edge(e['parent'],e['id'])
      #else create a dummy parent from the dummy root
      else: DG.add_edge('root',e['id'])
    
    #Get the tree as JSON
    data = json_graph.tree_data(DG,root='root')
    #and dump the data from the dummy root's children down...
    json.dumps(data['children'])
    
    '''
    '[{"children": [{"type": "folder", "name": "Folder 2", "id": "zRDg"}, {"type": "jpeg", "name": "DX00025.jpg", "id": "9Xdd"}], "type": "folder", "name": "Folder 1", "id": "OY00"}, {"type": "folder", "name": "Folder 3", "id": "ZDE1"}]'
    '''

    What you have here is a graph (probably just a tree) with connections between nodes represented by a parent key. This is known as an adjacency list.

    You want to produce a tree structure with links to other nodes through a children key which is a list of other nodes.

    To convert an adjacency list into a tree, you first need to have a way to retrieve a node by its id, so the first step is to create a dict of every node, keyed by id.

    Then you have to go through the list again and add children to their parents.

    Finally, make a list of nodes without parents (the root nodes).

    Note that you don't need a recursive algorithm at all.

    We can combine some of these steps to avoid going through the list multiple times. Code below:

    def nest_list(L):
        """Modify list of associative dicts into a graph and return roots of graph
    
        Association is via a 'parent' key indicating a corresponding 'id'.
        Items in the list *will be modified*.
        Children will be placed in a list for a 'children' key
        Items without children will have no 'children' key
        'parent' keys will be removed.
    
        Returned list is the full list of items which are not children of
        any other items.
        """
        idx = {}
        children = []
        root = []
        # first pass: index items by id
        # if the item has no parents, put it in the 'root' list
        # otherwise add it to the 'children' list which we will
        # process in a second pass
        for item in L:
            idx[item['id']] = item
            if 'parent' in item:
                children.append(item)
            else:
                root.append(item)
    
        # second pass: find the parents of our children
        for child in children:
            parent = idx[child['parent']]
            del child['parent']
            try:
                # retrieve the list of children for this
                # parent
                childlist = parent['children']
            except KeyError:
                # this item has received no children so far
                # so we need to make a 'children' key and list
                # for it.
                parent['children'] = childlist = []
            # append this child to the parent's list of children
            childlist.append(child)
    
        #all done: return new root list
        return root
    

    Code in action:

    oldlist = [{
      "name":"Folder 2",
      "id":"zRDg",
      "parent":"OY00",
      "type":"folder"
    },
    {
      "name":"Folder 1",
      "id":"OY00",
      "type":"folder"
    },
    {
      "name":"Folder 3",
      "id":"ZDE1",
      "type":"folder"
    },
    {
      "name":"DX00025.jpg",
      "id":"9Xdd",
      "parent":"OY00",
      "type":"jpeg"
    }]
    
    expected = [{

        "id":"9Xdd",

      }]
    },
    {
        "name":"Folder 3",
        "id":"ZDE1",
        "type":"folder"
    }]
    
    
    from pprint import pprint
    newlist = nest_list(oldlist)
    pprint(newlist)

    My solution for this case is something like this:

    data = INPUT_LIST
    
    class Item:
        def __init__(self, _id, name, type, parent):
            self._id = _id
            self.name = name
            self.type = type
            self.parent = parent
            self.children = []
    
        def get_dict(self):
            return {
                'id': self._id,
                'name': self.name,
                'type': self.type,
                'children': [child.get_dict() for child in self.children]
            }
    
    
    lookup = dict((item['id'], Item(item['id'], item['name'], item['type'], item['parent'] if 'parent' in item else None)) for item in data)
    
    root = []
    
    for _id, item in lookup.items():
        if not item.parent:
            root.append(item)
        else:
            lookup[item.parent].children.append(item)
    
    dict_result = [item.get_dict() for item in root]
